This text book is good at explaining all of the topics covered. In many sections, the authors give the general explanation and then subsequently give several real examples to further illustrate the point being made. There are many figures and illustrations used to explain the topics as well. Overall, it is as good as any other textbook.
The book does not give as detailed information about nucleic acids and their structures as my professor would have liked, but then it is titled "protein structure."

I love this book. It is well written and organised, and all the basic topics about protein structure are covered.

This book is very good at explaining the basics of proteins and their structure. Any student who plans on doing any sort of protein research should consider this a must have for their library.
The pictures are colorful and contain valuable easy to understand information. But the information shown is not over-crowded as some texts tend to do. The authors did not try to put too much information into one picture, but split the information between a number of illistrations.
The sections on protein folds, and motifs are a must for any one dealing with any kind of protein-protein, or protein-dna binding interaction. This will help scientists who will be using proteomic information to determine the structure and probable function of their protein when a crystal or NMR structure is not avaiable.
Great book for any biologist, biochemist, or physical chemist.

This is a great introductory text on protein science. It starts off with the basic chemistry of amino acids and polypeptides and goes from there into higher order structural organization of many proteins of many families. Reading this book allows one to think about protein function being a direct result of what the structure imposes. Although this is not a protein chemistry book, it's a great place to start appreciating how proteins do what they do following some elegant design principles.
The book gives interesting structural examples on how transcription factors use their DNA binding sites to recognize specific genomic sequences. Also, the story of how the voltage gated potassium channel can be orders of magnitude more selective for potassium over sodium is presented clearly. Overall, this book is necessary for any biologist doing protein related work, or anyone who wishes to gain more insight into how these tiny "machines of life" operate.

I used this book a lot for one of my undergraduate courses three years back. It's excellent at explaining the fundamentals of protein structure, it's written very clearly and the diagrams are easy to understand and appropriate. I found it particularly useful when studying immunology, the explanation of immunoglobulin structure, splicing, and mechanism of action was better than some of the other textbooks I used from the library. I finally bought a copy as reference and to aid revision of some basics while applying for research associate positions within the biochemistry field.
