Title: Solid book, still useful after almost 20 years
Product review: This book tackles proteins from the chemistry of its amino acids, via folding, biophysical properties, evolution, degradation, biosynthesis, structural determination, structure-function properties and more. Every chapter is as thorough as the format allows, and since it is clear that Chreighton set out to write a veritable flagship of a book, each chapter is really comprehensive. Sure, some things have changed since 1992, for instance within protein folding, but many of the books statements about this phenomenon are still valid abstractions for many proteins. There are some trivial errors when Chreighton deals with specialized techniques such as NMR, but nothing crippling. Chreighton is still one of the most useful books in my bookshelf. If there would be newer editions available I'd give them full score.
