Biologists have discovered extremophiles, organisms that live in extreme conditions, in nearly every corner of the planet, from the depths of the ocean to the insides of rocks. The adaptation of proteins to extreme conditions has received scientific attention because proteins have both structural and catalytic functions and hence play key roles in cellular adaptation. This book summarizes current knowledge on protein adaptation in extremophiles and illustrates the diversity of adaptive processes from the primary to the quaternary level of protein structure. Some specific topics discussed include enzyme function at low temperatures in psychrophiles, alkaline adaptation of proteins, and organic solvent-stable enzymes. A few computer-generated color illustrations are included. The book will be of interest to students, biotechnologists, and research scientists. Siddiqui and Thomas are affiliated with the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of New South Wales, Australia.
