Overview
A concise and accessible textbook covering ligand-binding theory in chemistry, biology, and drug development
In Ligand-binding Basics: Evaluating Intermolecular Affinity, Specificity, Stoichiometry, and Cooperativity, accomplished chemist Professor Jannette Carey introduces ligand binding in a thorough and practical way for those new to the topic, as well as anyone seeking a connection between theory and experiment. Using a minimum of mathematical formalism, this book offers analytical rigor while remaining accessible to non-specialist practitioners. It provides readers with the skills they need to analyze their own binding data or published results, helping them develop an intuitive grasp of ligand-binding phenomena integrated with structural and thermodynamic understanding.
Topics covered include:
- Application of the principles of equilibrium, mass action, and mass balance to derive the basic equations that describe all binding processes
- Recommended approaches for plotting and graphical analysis of binding data
- Strategies for designing, analyzing, interpreting, and troubleshooting experiments from the perspective of ligand-binding theory
- Review of selected examples that illustrate integration of structural and thermodynamic analysis
Perfect for students and educators in chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmaceutical science, Ligand-binding Basics will also appeal to practitioners who aim to study ligand binding in any molecular system.
