Essential Enzyme Kinetics: A Textbook for Molecular Life Scientists

By Daniel L Purich

Essentials of Enzyme Kinetics: A Textbook for Molecular Life Scientists discusses best-practice approaches for using site-directed mutagenesis to explore enzyme catalysis. The book presents a balance of initial-rate methods, fast reaction techniques, and kinetic isotope effect approaches, providing a must-have reference for bioscience workers and investigators who seek a better understanding of enzyme kinetics. Non-biochemists entering careers in Big Pharma will also benefit from the book's content as covered topics have become main drivers in small-molecule drug development.

Offers practical information on how to work with enzymes and design experiments to identify new inhibitors or activatorsProvides detailed, step-by-step derivations of rate equations, showing tried-and-true ways to confirm that equations are correctIncludes 10-12 problems for each chapter
