Protein Bioinformatics: An Algorithmic Approach to Sequence and Structure Analysis

by William R. Taylor, Ingvar Eidhammer, Inge Jonassen

Book Overview

Genomics and bioinformatics play an increasingly important and transformative role in medicine, society and agriculture. The mapping of the human genome has revealed 35,000 or so genes which might code for more than one protein, resulting in 100,000 proteins for the humans alone. Since proteins are attractive targets for developing drugs, efforts are now underway to map sequences and assign functions to many novel proteins. This book takes the novel...
