Genomics and bioinformatics play an increasingly important and transformative role in medicine, society and agriculture. The mapping of the human genome has revealed 35,000 or so genes which might code for more than one protein, resulting in 100,000 proteins for the humans alone. Since proteins are

✦ Synopsis
... the book presents a number of topics in structural bioinformatics, aiming to emphasize the beauty of the area as well as some of the main problems. It targets advanced undergraduate students and hence the description of more complicated algorithms is avoided. It nevertheless provides an interesting introduction to the area.
