7 Best Books on Macromolecular Interaction

“Ligand-Macromolecular Interactions in Drug Discovery: Methods and Protocols: 572 (Methods in Molecular Biology)” Book Review: The book mainly deals with the principles and methodologies used in the study of molecular interactions between compounds, either natural or synthetic and complementary biological targets is within the scope of drug discovery. It begins with an overview of drug research giving emphasis on the contribution of genomics, proteomics, high-throughput methods and computational developments in drug discovery. The book gives a detailed description of topics such as NMR spectroscopy, compound library design and synthesis, chemical and biological microarrays and others. It also provides introductions to the respective subjects, lists of necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step readily reproducible protocols and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

“Macromolecular Interactions in Food Technology (ACS Symposium Series)” Book Review: The book features structure- property relationships of macromolecules in food. It also discusses the identification of gelation and aggregation in food systems. It presents the interactions of biopolymers in emulsion systems, uses of chemical and enzymatic modifications of food proteins and also examines macromolecular interactions in film formation.

“Linkage Thermodynamics of Macromolecular Interactions: 51 (Advances in Protein Chemistry)” Book Review: The book lays down the foundations of linkage thermodynamics. The book presents topics like electrostatic contributions to molecular free energies in solution, site-specific analysis of mutational effects in proteins, allosteric transitions of the acetylcholine receptor and deciphering the molecular code of haemoglobin allostery.

“Biological Organization: Macromolecular Interactions at High Resolution” Book Review: The main objective of the book is to provide important information on interactions of macromolecules rather than the enzyme-substrate interactions. The book presents viruses as paradigms of small biological systems, DNA proteins and antibody interactions. It also provides the latest results on the photosynthetic reaction centre in terms of light sensitivity of proteins. The importance of mechanisms for the control of other systems is discussed through signal receptors.
