Items related to 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 how misfolding of proteins causes diseases like cancer, various encephalopathies, or diabetes. Enzymology and modern concepts of enzyme kinetics are then introduced, taking into account the physiological, pharmacological and medical significance of this often neglected topic. This is followed by thorough coverage of hæmoglobin and myoglobin, immunoproteins, motor proteins and movement, cell-cell interactions, molecular chaperones and chaperonins, transport of proteins to various cell compartments and solute transport across biological membranes. Proteins in the laboratory are also covered, including a detailed description of the purification and determination of proteins, as well as their characterisation for size and shape, structure and molecular interactions. The book emphasises the link between protein structure, physiological function and medical significance.
This book can be used for graduate and advanced undergraduate classes covering protein structure and function and as an introductory text for researchers in protein biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, chemistry, biophysics, biomedicine and related courses.

Review:
From the reviews:
“‘Fundamentals of Protein Structure and Function’ introduces the fundamental aspects of protein biochemistry from both basic and applied perspectives. ... this book can serve as an interesting textbook for advanced learners in protein structure and function. ... The book also summarizes the analytical techniques used to characterize cellular and membrane proteins. ... it provides a comprehensive understanding of the basics in protein biochemistry and serves as an interesting combination of chemistry and biology for a general readership.” (Mobeen Raja, Journal of Chemical Biology, Vol. 5 (2), April, 2012)
