Reviews
The 'periodic table' of proteins illustrates the beauty, diversity, and complexity of proteins in one place. It is a remarkable teaching and learning tool. (Donald Voet, author of the textbooks Biochemistry and Fundamentals of Biochemistry ) The ideal tool to understand and to teach the principles of protein structure, and beautifully designed. I wholeheartedly recommend it. (Robert Huber, Winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Chemistry)

Author Information
Richard Garratt studied Biochemistry at the University of London (UK), receiving a PhD in protein crystallography from Birkebeck College, London, in 1989. He then moved to the University of Sao Paulo (Brasil), where he was appointed Professor in 1996. Professor Garratt heads the crystallography group at the San Carlos Institute of Physics, focusing his research on protein structure determination and rational drug design. He is also the inventor of a widely acclaimed protein structure modeling kit for educational purposes. Christine Orengo studied Physics at the Universities of Bristol and Aberdeen (UK), receiving a PhD in Biochemistry from University College, London in 1984. She then became a MRC fellow and was later appointed Professor of Bioinformatics at University College. Together with Janet Thornton, Professor Orengo has developed the CATH protein structure database that is widely used to compare and identify evolutionarily related proteins.
