Introduction to Protein Structure provides an account of the
principles of protein structure, with examples of key proteins in their
biological context generously illustrated in full-color to illuminate
the structural principles described in the text. The first few chapters
introduce the general principles of protein structure both for novices
and for non-specialists needing a primer. Subsequent chapters use
specific examples of proteins to show how they fulfill a wide variety of
biological functions. The book ends with chapters on the experimental
approach to determining and predicting protein structure, as well as
engineering new proteins to modify their functions.
