Great protein chem text

I have been using this text as a supplement in a biophysics course and have found it very helpful. The text discusses physical properties of interactions within a polypeptide chain as well as with the environment. This book goes into protein folding, determination of evolutionary relationships between proteins, enzymology, methods for determining structure (like NMR, X-Ray diff), and is an excellent graduate or advanced undergraduate text.

Creighton's Protein Chem text

This text has been the standard for recent offerings of an upper level Protein Chemistry course. The organization of the chapters is logical and I like the format of the questions at the end of the chapters. Because this text lacks color images, my professor supplemented the Creighton book with a smaller text by Petsko and Ringe, which also has nice color illustrations and stereo images.

One of the top books pn protein folding.

This book by Creighton is one of the top two books on protein folding. The other is by Alan Fersht.
