PROTEIN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

"PROTEIN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION" CONSIDERS THE KEY CONCEPTS OF PROTEIN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEQUENCE, STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION WITH CLEAR, CONCISE EXPLANATIONS AND FULL COLOUR ILLUSTRATIONS. IT IS WRITTEN BY TWO OUTSTANDING NAMES IN THE FIELD, GREGORY PETSKO AND DAGMAR RINGE. IT CONSIDERS THE PRINCIPLES OF PROTEIN STRUCTURE AND FOLDING, FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF PROTEINS AND REGULATION OF PROTEIN FUNCTION, AND INTRODUCES THE BASIC PRINCIPLES WHEREBY STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION ARE DEDUCED FROM SEQUENCE. THIS WORK IS FULLY UP-TO-DATE WITH EMPHASIS ON WHAT SEQUENCE CAN TELL YOU ABOUT STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION. IT IS IDEAL FOR UNDERGRADUATES AND GRADUATES STUDYING THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF PROTEIN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION IN DEPARTMENTS OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, AND WORKING SCIENTISTS NEEDING AN UP-TO-DATE INTRODUCTION TO THE FIELD.ALL 240 ILLUSTRATIONS FROM "PROTEIN STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION" ARE AVAILABLE ON THE WEB AS JPGS AND DOWNLOADABLE TIFS FOR TEACH
