Theoretical, computational, and experimental perspectivesMechanistic enzymology is the basis of many applications, from drug design to cleaning products. This work offers a timely synopsis of advanced understanding of enzymatic regulation and function. Chapters are authored by both those in traditional protein studies and those challenging paradigms, bridging disconnected fields, and presenting a unified view of enzyme mechanisms. Biochemists, structural biologists, and other researchers working with enzymes will find this work useful. Each chapteris written to maximize accessibility for students and bridge developed theory with current scientific literature. This volume serves as a valuable teaching tool to introduce foundational topics to students, bridging distantly connected fields toward the presentation of a unified view of enzymemechanism.
