Biomolecules and Structural Biology [Hardcover] [Jan 01, 2016] Antonietta Baiano

Biomolecules structure is the intricate folded, three-dimensional shape that is formed by a protein, DNA, or RNA molecule, and that is important to its function. Whereas Structural biology is a branch of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics concerned with the molecular structure of biological macromolecules, especially proteins and nucleic acids, how they acquire the structures they have, and how alterations in their structures affect their function. This book explains how to use coordinate databases and atomic coordinates of biological macromolecules and also develops visualization skills for protein or DNA segments.
