These sets of lectures notes on the Physics of Proteins by Hans Frauenfelder, written while Hans was a Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, will soon be published by Springer Verlag, under the Editorship of Dr. Shirley Chan and Professor Robert Austin (Princeton University), and typeset by Winnie Chan of the  University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign.  We invite the reader to send us their comments/corrections/additions! 

In the next 6 months (July 2003- January 2004) we will be reorganizing the notes, grouping the chapters more logically and making some updates.
Hopefully, the flavor and style of Hans will remain intact.
