Protein Evolution provides an up-to-date summary of the principles of protein evolution and discusses both the methods available to analyze the evolutionary history of proteins as well as those for predicting their structure-function relationships.

Features:

• Includes a significantly expanded chapter on genome evolution to cover genomes of model organisms sequenced since the completion of the first edition, and organelle genome evolution
• Retains its reader-friendly, accessible style and organization
• Contains an updated glossary and new references, including a list of online reference sites
