Fundamentals of Protein Structure and Function
This book serves as an introduction to protein structure and function. Starting with their makeup from simple building blocks, called amino acids, the 3-dimensional structure of proteins is explained. This leads to a discussion of how misfolding of proteins causes diseases like cancer, various encep...
