Introduction to Protein Structure Carl Ivar Branden and John Tooze is an English-language study book about protein structure. This reference work is intended for students in higher education and discusses the fundamental principles of protein structure in their biological context.
The book covers the general principles of protein structure, with clear examples of important proteins and their functions. Color illustrations clarify complex structures. It begins with an overview of the basic principles, followed by case studies of specific proteins that show their role within biological systems. Finally, the work focuses on experimental approaches to determine and predict protein structure, as well as protein engineering.
Suitable for biochemistry and life sciences, this study book aligns with courses such as Biochemistry and Life Sciences: General. It offers a concise and modern summary of the introduction to proteins, with attention to their biological function.
