How Proteins Work is an up-to-date and authoritative account of protein function. It covers the full breadth of protein science, from protein structure and organisation, through evolution, enzymes, regulation, dynamics, folding, allostery, and experimental and computational techniques, with chapters detailing how these features work together to support signalling and motion. It tackles... Read more

Biography

Mike Williamson is from the University of Sheffield, UK, and has over 250 publications, mainly on NMR studies of proteins. He published the first NMR structure of a globular protein, with Nobel Laureate Kurt Wüthrich.

Praise for the first edition:

"I think this is a really nice book that offers an alternative perspective on protein structure and function for biochemistry students..."
