Personal Comment

I originally picked up this book because I couldn’t fully understand Ken Dill’s review (DOI: TBD). Surprisingly, this book turned out to be an amazing read, much like a novel. The way it explains protein physics, dynamics, folding, and modeling is intuitive yet deep — highly recommend for anyone interested in understanding proteins beyond static structures.

If you want to get an approachable but scientifically rigorous entry into protein behavior and computational modeling, this is the book to start with. HAVE FUN!!
