Introduction to Protein Science by Arthur M Lesk
Written by a leading author in the field, Introduction to Protein Science provides a wide-ranging perspective on the study of protein structure and function in the context of bioinformatics and genomics. Opportunities for active learning are provided both in the text and online, enabling students to develop their problem solving skills.
The third edition of Introduction to Protein Science continues to be a brilliant superior textbook for undergraduate and new postgraduate students in biology and chemistry* Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume D72, Part 12 (pp. 1227-1309, 1 December 2016) *
It would be difficult to express the qualities of this book better than Doolittle (2005) in his review of the first edition: How can a book with only seven chapters cover so many topics so thoroughly and so well? For one thing, Lesk is a gifted writer with a knack for making complex material eminently understandable. For another, he has managed an adroit balancing of the carefully crafted main text with dozens of well-situated "boxes" and "case studies", each of which provides intriguing connections to the subject at hand. * Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume D72, Part 12 (pp. 1227-1309, 1 December 2016) *
This new edition is, above all, an excellent update of the previous one. * Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume D72, Part 12 (pp. 1227-1309, 1 December 2016) *
