The quest to understand the condensation of proteins from solutions is a rapidly evolving field. The purpose of this book is to bring to an interdisciplinary audience the state-of-the-art in current research. The first part of the book deals with issues related to the production of high quality protein crystals from solution. Since protein function is determined by structure, high quality protein crystals must be grown in order to determine their structure by X-ray crystallography. The book also discusses diseases that occur due to undesired protein condensation, an increasingly important subject. Examples include sickle cell anemia, cataracts and Alzheimer's disease. ...

Reviews for Protein Condensation: Kinetic Pathways to Crystallization and Disease
'… the text covers just about anything a researcher would need to know of the many research areas of protein crystallisation. From statistical tests to theoretical models and mathematics, Gunton et al. appear to include the lot.' Journal of Biological Education
