"This book explains the structural complexities of proteins and enzymes and the mechanisms by which enzymes preform their catalytic functions. Illustrative examples, from the contemporary literature, guide the reader through concepts and data analysis procedures. Clear, well-written descriptions help to demystify enzymology concepts and to simplify the complex mathematical treatment of enzyme kinetic data.

"This book explains the structural complexities of proteins and enzymes and the mechanisms by which enzymes preform their catalytic functions. Illustrative examples, from the contemporary literature, guide the reader through concepts and data analysis procedures. Clear, well-written descriptions help to demystify enzymology concepts and to simplify the complex mathematical treatment of enzyme kinetic data. Numerous citations at the end of each chapter enable the reader to access the primary literature and more in-depth treatments of specific topics. In addition to overall updates and general revisions throughout, the new 3rd edition adds a number of topics in new chapters of the text -- for example treatments of enzyme activation, enzyme-macromolecule interaction, enzyme evolution and phylogeny, and the role of enzymes in human health"--
