Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes

The Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes, Fourth Edition is the latest release in this esteemed publication that stands as the most comprehensive work in applied enzymology and biocatalysis since the first edition published in 1998. Extensively updated, the new edition is an essential reference for biochemists, biotechnologists, and molecular biologists across academia and industry. Edited by world-renowned experts in the field, and with five volumes available for individual sale, this work provides detailed information on all known proteolytic enzymes researched to-date, with expanded coverage of metallopeptidases, cysteine peptidases, serine and threonine peptidases, aspartic and glutamic peptidases, and inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes.

This volume includes over 400 chapters on known serine and threonine peptidases, including their name, history, activity and specificity, structural chemistry, preparation, biological aspects, and distinguishing features, with 2D and 3D structures of peptidases in color, extensive references, and links to PubMed and MEROPS databases.

• Provides the only comprehensive book on serine and threonine peptidases, with over 400 peptides included
• Written by experts in their field, including updates on proteolytic enzymes from all groups of living organisms and viruses, and some that are major targets of pharmaceutical research
• Presents a fully searchable text, with 2D and 3D structures of peptidases in color and links to PubMed and MEROPS databases
• Details the latest proteotases used in therapeutic research and discusses recent drug trials
