Proteolytic Enzymes
This book offers comprehensive, unified coverage of proteolytic enzymes, which are useful in a multitude of important physiological processes. The emphasis here is on the practical aspects of the handling, characterization, inhibition, and use of these enzymes. The book provides general advice as well as specific examples. Written in a clear, readable style, the volume is an excellent resource for scientists who study proteases, or those who use them as probes for experimental and therapeutic purposes.
Molecular Life Sciences
Handbook of Molecular Life Sciences will focus on understanding biological phenomena at the level of molecules and their interactions that govern life processes. Volumes 1 to 3 will focus on genes and genomes, volumes 4 to 6 on protein structure and function, volumes 7 & 8 will explore systems biology, using genomics and proteomics as the focus and volumes 9 and 10 on molecular aspects of cell structure and function. Volume 11 will explore unifying concepts and theory from biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics that are essential for understanding the molecular life sciences and will also include sections on teaching perspectives and assessment tools. Volume 12 will cover basic aspects of the various experimental approaches that are used in the Molecular Life Sciences.
Intracellular Protein Catabolism
The Tenth International Conference on Intracellular Protein Catabolism was held in Tokyo Japan, October 30-November 3, 1994. under the auspices of the International Committee on Proteolysis (lCOP). ICOP meetings have been held biennially in the USA, Europe, and Japan in turn. The previous three ICOP meetings (7th to 9th) were held in Shimoda, Japan, in 1988. in WildbadKreuth, Germany, in 1990, and in Williamsburg. Virginia, in 1992. Previous meetings were held in resort areas, this was the first meeting held in a large city. Attendance has grown every year so that nearly 400 participants from 19 different countries attended the Tokyo meeting. At the meeting, novel and updated results on the ...
Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes, Volume 1
Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes, Second Edition, Volume 1: Aspartic and Metallo Peptidases is a compilation of numerous progressive research studies on proteolytic enzymes. This edition is organized into two main sections encompassing 328 chapters. This handbook is organized around a system for the classification of peptidases, which is a hierarchical one built on the concepts of catalytic type, clan, family and peptidase. The concept of catalytic type of a peptidase depends upon the chemical nature of the groups responsible for catalysis. The recognized catalytic types are aspartic, cysteine, metallo, serine, threonine, and the unclassified enzymes, while clans and families are groups of homologous peptidases. Homology at the level of a family of peptidases is shown by statistically significant relationship in amino acid sequence to a representative member called the type example, or to another member of the family that has already been shown to be related to the type example. Each chapter discusses the history, activity, specificity, structural chemistry, preparation, and biological aspects of the enzyme. This book will prove useful to enzyme chemists and researchers.

Extracellular Matrix Degradation
Regulated turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important component of tissue homeostasis. In recent years, the enzymes that participate in, and control ECM turnover have been the focus of research that touches on development, tissue remodeling, inflammation and disease. This volume in the Biology of Extracellular Matrix series provides a review of the known classes of proteases that degrade ECM both outside and inside the cell. The specific EMC proteases that are discussed include cathepsins, bacterial collagenases, matrix metalloproteinases, meprins, serine proteases, and elastases. The volume also discusses the domains responsible for specific biochemical characteristics of the proteases and the physical interactions that occur when the protease interacts with substrate. The topics covered in this volume provide an important context for understanding the role that matrix-degrading proteases play in normal tissue remodeling and in diseases such as cancer and lung disease.
Proteolysis and Protein Turnover
The proceedings of the 9th Intemational ICOP Conference held in Williamsburg, Virginia in October 1992 discusses the latest discoveries on cellular proteases, how living cells break down proteins, how cells deten-nine which proteins are to be degraded and the role of proteases in diseases such as cancer. Scientists from a variety of disciplines discuss the regulation and mechanisms at different levels of biological organization.
