Preface
active researchers in various aspects of protein study and they
have attempted to guide the reader by introducing briefly their
subject and giving details for experimental work, which in their
own experience give good results.
We express our great sorrow at the loss of both Dr. Don Sheer,
coworker of Millipore, and his wife, whose tragic death, after an
airplane crash on the way from USA to Greece, was announced
before the opening ceremony of the XIIth International MPSA.
We would like to acknowledge all contributors of this volume,
the participants of the XIIth MPSA for their active contribution as
well as Springer-Verlag for their kind offer to publish this work.
We are grateful to the conference Book Advisory subcommittee
Drs C.W. Anderson, E. Appella and B. Wittmann-Liebold for all
their efforts to select the most important topics.
We hope that this volume will stimulate further research in the
field of Protein Chemistry and be beneficial because of the new
and interesting ideas it introduces.
