"Principles of Protein Structure" is an open-access, undergraduate level course in which all the material is provided over the Internet using the World Wide Web. It is part of the Virtual School of Natural Sciences of the Globewide Network Academy. It is mounted at Birkbeck College , London, UK and its co-directors are Professor Peter Murray-Rust and Dr. Alan Mills.
