The literature on recent studies of casein structure and function is reviewed. Where appropriate, we try to reconcile conflicting views on the issue of secondary structure in these proteins, steering a middle course where possible. A suggestion is put forward that a coarser view, treating the caseins as block copolymers may be sufficient to rationalise much of the behaviour of these proteins in self-association, adsorption and micellar assembly.
