Protein Structure and Function considers the key concepts of protein structure and function and the relationship between sequence, structure and function with clear, concise explanations and full colour illustrations.
- Written by two outstanding names in the field, Gregory Petsko and Dagmar Ringe.
- Considers the principles of protein structure and folding, functional properties of proteins and regulation of protein function, and introduces the basic principles whereby structure and function are deduced from sequence.
- Fully up-to-date with emphasis on what sequence can tell you about structure and function.
- Ideal for undergraduates and graduates studying the fundamental principles of protein structure and function in departments of biochemistry and molecular biology, and working scientists needing an up-to-date introduction to the field.
- All 240 illustrations from Protein Structure and Function are available on the web as jpgs and downloadable tifs for teaching, at http://www.new-science-press.com/browse/protein/resources/

Gregory Petsko is currently the Director of the prestigious Rosensteil Center at Brandeis University. His research interests include the use of yeast genetics to study the unfolding of protein response pathway and the mechanism of action of the ABC transporter proteings.
Dagmar Ringe is currently Professor of Biochemistry and Chemistry at Brandeis University studying structure-function relationships in enzymes of particular industrial and pharmaceutical importance.
