Guidebook to the Cytoskeletal and Motor Proteins (Sambrook & Tooze Guidebook Series)

These Sambrook And Tooze Guidebooks Provide Students And Research Professionals With A Unique Source Of Reference To The Most Up-to-date Information Available On The Proteins Involved In Cell Adhesion, The Cytoskeleton, And The Extracellular Matrix. The First Concise Compendium Of The Molecules Of The Cytoskeleton And Those Involved In Cell Movement, This Book Summarizes The Essential Features Of These Proteins, Drawing Together Information From A Widely-scattered Literature. There Has Been An Explosion Of Knowledge About The Structure, Function, And Distribution Of These Proteins, And New Ones Are Being Discovered Rapidly. The Introductory Chapters Provide Excellent Overviews And Each Entry Suggests Effective Methods For Learning About The Essentials Of Each Protein Supported By Key Eferences For In-depth Reading.--publisher Description (loc).
