Abstract
This chapter introduces in a condensed form some of the basics of how genetic information determines the structure of proteins. Proteins are molecules of major interest in biology as they are necessary for the functioning of cells. The topics covered include DNA and genes, the synthesis of proteins from genes, and the four levels of protein structure. Techniques for the determination of the 3D structure of proteins are also introduced.
