The properties of proteins are determined not only by the sequence of amino-acid residues in the polypeptide chains, but also by the con- figuration of the chains-the way in which the chains are coiled or folded.
Many agronomic reference books either focus on a single crop, several related crops, or specific soil topics but not on a full range of both crop and soil subjects.
