Solvent-Induced Interactions and Forces in Protein Folding

Více o knize

The book delves into solvent-induced interactions, emphasizing the significance of hydrophilic forces in biochemical processes. It begins with fundamental definitions and a statistical thermodynamics overview, before exploring the relationship between these interactions and thermodynamics. The author highlights the critical role of hydrophilic interactions, providing theoretical, experimental, and simulation evidence that they often outweigh hydrophobic effects in key processes like protein folding and molecular recognition. This work is valuable for students and researchers in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
