In this book, top researchers in the field of protein biochemistry describe modern methods to address the challenges of protein purification, folding and degradation. The significance of peptide purity for fibril formation, the use of target oriented peptide arrays, the design and application of protein epitope mimetics, and the structural resolving of the misfolding of mutant proteins enlarge are addressed.
