The Architecture of Proteins

von Pramod Singh

415 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Proteins are the molecular machines that drive nearly every biological process, from catalyzing reactions to providing structural support. Their complex three-dimensional structures determine their functions and interactions within cells. The Architecture of Proteins covers the principles of protein folding, structure determination, and functional organization. The book discusses primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures, along with techniques such as X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. It also explores protein misfolding diseases, enzyme mechanisms, and protein engineering applications. By linking structure to biological activity, it offers readers a deep appreciation of how the architecture of proteins underpins the dynamic complexity of life.
