The possibilities of protein engineering are subject to intensive and ground-breaking research, and applications are already transforming areas of medicine and biotechnology. Incorporating more than a dozen chapters, this collection of cutting-edge contributions brings the reader the very latest from this fast-developing field. Part one reviews developments in the role of protein phosphorylation in human health. Chapters include studies of topics such as the regulation of autophagy by protein phosphorylation. Part two presents studies in dehydrogenases. Contributors offer insights into topics including glutamate dehydrogenases, and amperometric glucose sensors for whole blood measurement. Part three considers the role of lipoproteins in health and disease, and includes detailed examinations of lipoprotein structure, dynamics and pathophysiology, and the significance of oxidized phospholipids. Part four considers enzyme inhibition and bioapplications. Finally, part five focuses on milk proteins, and examines issues such as phosphopeptides as nutraceuticals, and complexation between casein micelles and whey protein by indirect UHT processing. This wide-ranging collection draws on the wealth of experiences of its contributors to provide engaging insights and new directions.
