Large Biological Molecules
Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.)
Chapter 5 The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules
In Chapter 5, the principles of chemistry covered in earlier chapters are applied to the understanding of biological polymers and lipid membranes. The emphasis is on properly linking monomers and their polymers, and on the structural and functional diversity of the different polymer types. Particular attention is given to protein structure, because this is central to understanding subsequent chapters on metabolism, molecular biology, and molecular medicine.
