For a system as non-idealistic and complex as a protein, studying scale-invariance becomes particularly important. Fractal Symmetry of Protein Interior investigates the diverse facets of the various scales at which we describe protein biophysical and biochemical phenomena. Following a thorough introduction to fractal dimensions, fractal-dimension-based approaches, that have been employed to study protein interior biophysical properties, are described. The focus is on the question ?which scales are scale-invariant?? Investigations related to scaling of biophysical and biochemical behaviors may one day help us to formulate a fundamental theory about protein biophysics; which, in turn, may help us to understand fundamental principles of proteins. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology,$x2211-9353 606 $aProteins$xStructure 606 $aProteins$xConformation 615 0$aProteins$xStructure. 615 0$aProteins$xConformation. 676 $a572.6 700 $aBanerji$b Anirban$01060482 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437847403321 996 $aFractal Symmetry of Protein Interior$92513718 997 $aUNINA
