Biomacromolecules: Introduction To Structure, Function And Informatics Hardcover

Biomacromolecules: Introduction to Structure, Function and Informatics by C. Stan Tsai provides a comprehensive and integrated exploration of the structure and function of key biological macromolecules—nucleic acids, proteins, and glycans. Bridging the gap between introductory biochemistry texts and advanced specialized literature, this book delves into the monomeric components of biomacromolecules, their purification and characterization, and their structural attributes. It further examines spectroscopic analysis, chemical synthesis, computational modeling, and the roles of these macromolecules in catalysis, signal transduction, and biodegradation. Incorporating insights from genomics, proteomics, and glycomics, the text also addresses biomacromolecular informatics and evolution, making it an essential resource for students and researchers in biochemistry, molecular biology, and bioinformatics
