Book Description:
Landmark Experiments in Protein Science explores the significant experiments that have shaped our understanding of proteins and their roles within cells. The book focuses on how proteins were discovered, their functions, and their involvement in essential cellular processes such as growth, communication, and programmed cell death (apoptosis). A key aspect of the book is its exploration of how dysfunctional proteins can lead to diseases like cancer.

The book provides in-depth discussions of landmark experiments in cell biology and biochemistry, highlighting the "How" and "Why" behind each experiment. It incorporates primary data, graphs, and biological techniques that were critical in enabling researchers to achieve their results. Chronologically documenting these experiments, the book shows how each discovery fed into subsequent advancements in the field.

Key Features:

• Describes landmark experiments in cell biology and biochemistry

• Discusses the motivations and challenges of historically important experiments

• Includes original data and graphs to support findings

• Highlights the techniques used in key experiments

• Chronicles how each discovery led to the next, building our understanding of protein science
