Hardcover  X, 517 Pages  ISBN 3527302220      £210.00

Volumes 7 and 8 of the biopolymers series focus on polyamides and complex proteinaceous materials synthesized by bacteria and eukaryotic organisms. All aspects of the biosynthesis and metabolism of these biopolymers as well as the production and isolation are described. Topics included are: Poly(g-D-glutamate), Cyanophycin, modifications of proteins, Sweet-tasting proteins, Motor proteins, Enzymes for technical applications, Self-assembling proteins, Cell membranes, Feathers, Elastic proteins, Silk proteins, Adhesive proteins, Protein composites, Wool, Collagens and gelatines
