Reviews
'Review from previous edition This is a lively and engaging text which provides an up-to-date introductory view of protein science with plenty of interesting examples. The text is well explained and organized into short sections which provide students with brief introductions to a wide range of topics. I would recommend this book to my students to read in parallel to our courses to build a broad understanding of protein science, and also to anyone who isinterested in learning about this area of science'Dr Gail Hutchinson, School of Biological Sciences, University of Reading'This text is a great resource for teaching an interdisciplinary course. It can be easily supplemented to engage students from life and physical sciences as well as engineering.'Dr Melisenda Jean McDonald, Chemistry Department, University of Massachusetts Lowell, "This text is a great resource for teaching an interdisciplinary course.

The commentary about these images in the chapter ensures that the reader is not mislead by the simplicity of the diagrams and explains the more complex features of the protein. The variety of proteins displayed is interesting, as in conventional textbooks the diagrams are often of typicalproteins, such as haemoglobin.

Synopsis
Proteins are essential to life, having a great variety of roles in all organisms. They are the ultimate micro-machines: some are building blocks, joining with other substances to make the cells from which we are formed; some are catalysts, speeding up biochemical reactions to keep our cells active and alive; yet others help cells to communicate, to move, to build up the complex mix of tissues that make up our bodies, and to regulate unfolding programmes ofdevelopment. Introduction to Protein Science provides a broad ranging introduction to the contemporary study of proteins in health and disease, suitable for students on biological,biochemical, and biomedical degrees internationally. It relates the study of proteins to the context of modern high-throughput data streams of genomics and proteomics. Describing basic principles of protein structure and methods for studying them, the book illustrates the wide variety of functions that proteins have, showing how the structures of proteins are intimately linked to their functions. Building on the success of the first edition, thenew edition integrates treatment of bioinformatics, databases and computational methods of determining and predicting protein structure and function, and demonstrates how these methods are paving theway for the ability to design novel proteins with specific desired characteristics. With added coverage of recent developments in the field, particularly in high-throughput methods; a new chapter on enzyme kinetics; extended coverage of topics such as protein evolution, and the immune system; as well as the inclusion of new end-of-chapter exercises, problems and weblems, the book captures the current state of excitement in a way that all biosciences students andinstructors will find appealing. Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre to accompany Introduction to Protein Science features the following resources for lecturersand students. For registered adopters - Figures from the book available to download - Answers to end-of-chapter exercises For students - Links to useful websites to aid further research into protein science - Helpful hints and tips for answering end-of-chapter problems, Proteins are essential to life, having a great variety of roles in all organisms.
