Protein Structure and Function

• Written by two outstanding names in the field, Gregory Petsko and Dagmar Ringe.
• 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.
• Unique modular format breaks the subject down into discrete, manageable chunks, to help motivate - rather than intimidate - the student.
• Custom-drawn full colour illustrations enliven the text, helping the student to visualize and comprehend the concepts being introduced.
• Online Resource Centre features additional resources for lecturers, to enhance the value of the text as both a teaching and learning resource.

Readership: Intermediate and advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate biochemistry and molecular biology students.

"A really good book provides a wealth of information in a manner that the reader remembers what he/she has read. This book does just that. The contents just pop into mind from time to time. This book will be a winner." - Tom Bruice, University of California, Santa Barbara

"This treatment and focus is much needed. It will be essential reading by students and faculty alike, and will serve as a crucial reference book for everyone in the biosciences." - James Spudich, Stanford University School of Medicine

"It is well-written, makes for interesting reading and contains a number of excellent examples. The whole book appears to be an important, useful and timely one." - Roman Laskowski, European Bioinformatics Institute
