Protein Structure

Protein Structure Synopsis

To understand the functions of proteins at a molecular level, it is often necessary to determine their three-dimensional structure. A protein may undergo reversible structural changes in performing its biological function. This book presents current research in the study of protein structure. Topics discussed include enzyme immobilisation; structural characteristics of fibrous and globular proteins; mathematical modelling of helical protein structures; three approaches for classifying protein tertiary structures and spectral and fluorescence analysis of protein structure.
