Reference

The first few chapters introduces 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 fulfil 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..
