Human Blood Plasma Proteins gives an overview of the proteins found in humane blood plasma, with special special and significant stress on their structure and function and kinship to pathological states and disease. Topics covered include:

• introduction to blood elements and blood plasma proteins
• blood plasma protein domains, motifs and repeats
• blood plasma protein families and posttranslational modifications
• blood coagulation and fibrinolysis
• the supplement system
• the immune system
• enzymes
• inhibitors
• lipoproteins
• hormones
• cytokines and growth factors
• transport and storage

The selective information of each protein discussed in this book in galore detail is summarised at the end of each chapter in a Data Sheet, where one may find the most necessary info of each protein at one glance. Full cross-referencing to protein databases is given and a great deal of of the proteins discussed are accompanied by their 3D structure.

Attractively staged in full colour, Human Blood Plasma Proteins is an necessary atlas of this proteome for any individual working in biochemistry, protein alchemy and proteomics, structural biology, and medicine.

Review"A major addition to the protein library, with an beautiful and authorized display of critical data in regards to each plasma protein and a color schema of it is three-dimensional structure from PDB." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, December 2009)

From the Back CoverHuman plasma holds the most comprehensive version of the humane proteome. The complexity of the ‘plasma proteome’ is speedily understood when one considers all the respective forms of blood plasma proteins present in plasma: precursor and mature forms, splice variants, degradation merchandise and of course all combinings of posttranslational modifications.

Disappointing
By Alan D. Strickland
The ads indicated this would be a book with a outstanding deal of data in regards to each of the proteins in humane plasma. It in truth has very little info that is useful. Each protein has a categorization into the type of protein (immune system, transport, etc) and a brief description (this protein transports x) and, usually, a ribbon diagram of the structure. There are commonly two or three creative writing of recognized artisti value references.

For $170, I expected much more.
