Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes, Two-Volume Set with CD-ROM

Reviews / Votes

Praise for the Second Edition:
"The clear goal of these volumes is to provide complete coverage of proteases. All known enzymes of this class are described. As a reference, this is a very worthwhile contribution. The goals of this book are well met...The major strength of this book is the comprehensive coverage...An essential reference for scientific research...A very impressive offering...Any investigator with a protease question should start here." --Doody's (2005)

"This handbook would be very useful a reference for a library that serves graduate and post-graduate researchers in molecular biology and related fields." --E-STREAMS (2005)

Doody's 4-star review-
"A very impressive offering. While many of the chapters are short, they provide essential information as well as appropriate references. Any investigator with a protease question should start here." --Eugene A. Davidson, PhD, Georgetown University School of Medicine in DOODYS

"The Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes, Second Edition provides a structured and systematic, up-to-date account of the information about proteolytic enzymes...an indispensable reference for all researchers utilizing such enzymes in areas of organic chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology and molecular biology." --John F. Kennedy and Menh M. He, Chembiotech Laboratories in CARBOHYDRATE POLYMERS, April 2005

"This handbook would be a very useful reference for a library that serves graduate and post-graduate researchers in molecular biology and related fields. However, the CD-ROM version may be significantly more useful than the print version, especially for workers adept with bioinformatics." --Rafael Garcia, Chemical Engineer USDA for E-STREAMS, March 2005

Praise for the first edition:

"The CD-ROM format is ideal for the presentation of this mass of structured information. There are a number of useful search facilities, including the unique Specificity Search procedure developed for this project..... Nethertheless with excellent diagrams, useful search facilities and extensive hyperlinks, the CD-ROM is far too useful a resource for any reader who is used to the vagaries of software to be put off by minor glitches...." --BIOCHEMICAL EDUCATION

" The Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes is a much needed reference book in the field of peptidases. Not only does it provide a wealth of information for the vast majority of the individual enzymes discussed, but also it shows vividly the relationships among members of families and clans within the 4 major classes." --Michael N.G. James, MRC Canada, Group in Protein Structure and Function, Department of Biochemistry in PROTEIN SCIENCE

"...a massive and definitive compilation of information on proteolytic enzymes and will no doubt be the standard work for years to come...the information collected here will be of great value to scientists working in practically the whole of biology as well as to the biotechnology industry..." --BIOCHEMICAL EDUCATION
