Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes: Metallopeptidases, Fourth Edition presents an update on the most comprehensive work in the field of applied enzymology and biocatalysis since the first edition published in 1998. Extensively revised and updated, this new edition is an essential reference for biochemists, biotechnologists and molecular biologists across academia and industry. Edited by world-renowned experts in the field, and with five volumes available for individual sale, this work provides detailed information on all known proteolytic enzymes researched to-date, with expanded coverage of metallopeptidases, cysteine peptidases, serine and threonine peptidases, aspartic and glutamic peptidases, and inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes.
This volume on metallopeptidases includes over 300 chapters on known metallopeptidases, including their name, history, activity and specificity, structural chemistry, preparation, biological aspects, and distinguishing features, with 2D and 3D structures of peptidases in color, extensive references and links to PubMed and MEROPS databases.
- Provides the only comprehensive book on metallopeptidases, including over 300 peptides
- Written by experts from all groups of living organisms and viruses, including those that are currently major targets of pharmaceutical research
- Includes a fully searchable text, 2D and 3D structures of peptidases in color, and links directly to PubMed and MEROPS databases
- Details the latest proteotases used in therapeutic research and discusses recent drug trials

Currently Dr. Neil Rawlings is a Senior Scientist in the Proteins Department at the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute, Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridgeshire, UK. Dr. Rawlings has been an active researcher at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute for over twenty years. He is extremely well known in the proteolytic enzyme community for his work curating the MEROPS database, an information resource covering peptidases and the proteins that inhibit them, which is used by expert researchers and students worldwide. Dr. Rawlings has published widely in such peer reviewed journals as Genome Research, BMC Bioinformatics, PloS ONE, Nucleic Acids Research, the Journal of Biological Chemistry, and Science. David S. Auld is Associate Professor of Pathology at Harvard in MA, USA.
