| Summary |
This book 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.:.; 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 |
