This text provides an up-to-date collection of theoretical and experimental studies into protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and stability. Additionally, issues faced during the development of protein products are illustrated. The first section of contributed papers covers advances in computational efforts to examine protein aggregation. In the middle section, several leading researchers describe fundamental experimental efforts to explore the relationships between protein sequence, folded structure, aggregation kinetics, and aggregate morphology. In the final part of the book, contributors discuss the practical issues arising during product development efforts because of the propensity for engineered proteins to misfold and aggregate.
