Cooperativity and Regulation in Biochemical Processes

Cooperativity and Regulation in Biochemical Processes

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is the first book that attempts to study the origin of cooperatvity in binding systems from the molecular point of view. The molecular approach provides a deeper insight into the mechanism of cooperativity and regulation, than the traditional phenomenological approach. This book uses the tools of statistical mechanics to present the molecular theory of cooperativity. Cooperativity is used in a variety of processes-such as loading and unloading of oxygen at relatively small pressure differences; maintaining an almost constant concentration of various compounds in living cells; and switching on and off the reading of genetic information. This book may be used as a textbook by graduate students in Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biophysics, and will also be of interest to researchers in theoretical biochemistry.

Book Info
Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem, Israel. Evolved from a graduate course on applications of statistical thermodynamics to biochemical systems. Main objective is to present an understanding of the molecular origin of cooperativity and its relation to the actual function of biochemical binding systems. This text defines cooperativity in probabilistic terms.
