Scientifically rigorous and deeply informed by the author's own 60-year career as a structural biologist, the book provides historical and personal accounts of how two generations of renowned scientists doggedly pursued their research projects to arrive at milestone achievements, while also covering basic aspects of protein structures and their evolution with a special focus on molecules at the surface of cells and viruses. Since 1962, when only a single structure for myoglobin had been determined at atomic resolution, the rapidly evolving field has grown exponentially to fill protein structure databases (PDB) worldwide with hundred thousands of structures for basic research and medical advancement. From \"What is a Wave?\" to \"What Is Life?\", \u003ci\u003eProteins: A Structural Biology Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers on a uniquely intimate journey through the past 100 years of protein science, while providing an up-to-the-minute assessment of successful structure prediction by AI models like AlphaFold and RoseTTAFold and where it's all likely to lead. Outfitted with detailed illustrations and authoritative citations, this is a valuable resource for graduate students and young research scientists in biology and the medical sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jia-Huai Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0323998933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780323998932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jia-Huai Wang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545846042879,"sku":"9780323998932","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79c99b1a-77e3-4bab-be16-df4ba50a35a5.jpg?v=1738183494","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/proteins-jia-huai-wang-9780323998932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
