Lesk, Arthur M.
Introduction to protein science: architecture, function, and genomics - 3rd ed. - Oxford Oxford University Press 2016 - xxii, 466 p. : illustrations (chiefly colour) ; 27 cm.
Contents:
1. Introduction
2. Protein structure
3. Protein structure determination
4. Bioinformatics of protein sequence and structure
5. Proteins as catalysts: enzyme structure, kinetics, and mechanism
6. Protein with partners
7. Evolution of protein structure and function
8.Protein folding and design
9. Proteomics and systems biology.
Not only are proteins the fundamental building blocks of all life forms, but they also have a wide range of functions - from forming enzymes acting as catalysts for specific reactions, to crucial molecules such as antibodies in the immune system, and as signalling molecules between cells. Introduction to Protein Science, 3rd edition provides a rich and broad introduction to this fascinating field by covering not only the structureand function of proteins, but also the methods and experimental techniques used to study them. The practical applications of our knowledge to diverse fields such as biotechnology and medicine are emphasizedthroughout, to help students appreciate the relevance of the subject to the real world.
