Fibrous proteins : structures and mechanisms

"This book provides the readers with an up-to-date review of the design, structure and function of a representative selection of fibrous proteins in both health and disease. The importance of the [alpha]-helical coiled coil, a conformational motif based on the heptad repeat in the amino acid se...
