Genomics and bioinformatics play an increasingly important and
transformative role in medicine, society and agriculture. The
mapping of the human genome has revealed 35,000 or so genes which
might code for more than one protein, resulting in 100,000 proteins
for the humans alone. Since proteins are attractive targets for
developing drugs, efforts are now underway to map sequences and
assign functions to many novel proteins. This book takes the novel
approach to cover both the sequence and structure analysis of
proteins in one volume and from an algorithmic perspective.
Key features of the book include:
- Provides a comprehensive introduction to the analysis of protein sequence and structure analysis.
- Takes an algorithmic approach, relying on computational methods rather than theoretical.
- Provides an integrated presentation of theory, examples, exercises and applications.
- Includes coverage of both protein structure, and sequence, analysis.
- Accessible enough for biologists, yet rigorous enough for computer scientists and mathematicians.
- Supported by a Web site featuring exercises, solutions, images, and computer programs.
