Short Description
Although many of the major biochemistry textbooks introduce the subject of proteins, they often employ outdated approaches and do not address the significance of proteins in modern biochemistry. Other books on the subject are too advanced for undergraduate coursework. Proteins: Structure & Function bridges the gap between conventional textbooks and advanced resources, providing a solid introduction to the study of proteins suitable for undergraduates. By introducing the concepts connected with protein folding in a user-friendly manner, it provides students with the groundwork they need to undertake more advanced study and analysis of proteins.
This text provides a superb introduction to the study of proteins, focusing on their structure and function. It covers the importance of proteins in biochemistry and introduces the concepts connected with protein folding in a user-friendly manner. Written specifically for undergraduates, it will provide them with the foundation they need in order to undertake more advanced study and analysis. The accompanying web site will include animated protein structures, problems and answers, and links to protein databases and other sites of interest.
