Protein Folding: Introduction to Proteins (Amit Kessel & Nir Ben-Tal)

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

Source cover or paper first page: Introduction to Proteins: Structure, Function, and Motion

Kessel and Ben-Tal explain how protein structure, motion, and function fit together.

The book connects amino-acid chemistry and molecular interactions to folding and stability.

It examines membrane proteins, binding interactions, and the physical basis of enzyme activity.

Thermodynamics and structural methods help explain how proteins work and change shape.

Applications connect these principles to disease, drugs, and biological function.
