Description
How does the chemical description of a protein relate to its three-dimensional structure?
How does the three-dimensional structure relate to the machinery that brings about a chemical reaction?
How does the sequence of a gene encode not only the sequence of a protein but, more importantly, the architecture and function of that protein?Protein Structure and Function provides a clear and critical survey of our current understanding of the structure and function of proteins to answer questions such as these.
Opening with a consideration of the link between protein sequence and structure, it goes on to explore the structural basis of protein function and how this function is controlled.
Finally, it examines a range of case studies that illuminate the range of roles performed by proteins, and the diverse structures these proteins exhibit. Protein Structure and Function combines articulate prose with striking full colour illustrations, while the unique Primers in Biology modular structure integrates text, illustrations, definitions, and literature references for each topic into one double-page spread, bringing to the student's fingertips all the tools that they need to master that topic.
