Molecular Interactions of Actin : Actin-Myosin Interaction and Actin-Based Regulation (Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation)

Molecular Interactions of Actin : Actin-Myosin Interaction and Actin-Based Regulation (Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Actin is one of the most widespread proteins in eukaryotic cells. This book and its companion ("Molecular Interactions of Actin. Actin Structure and Actin-Binding Proteins") provide an authoritative and opinionated view of the structure and function of this essential protein. Each section includes an historical perspective and a detailed commentary on actin protein chemistry, molecular and cell biology of actin. While some chapters review the body of knowledge of the subject, others contain new experimental data. This book will appeal to research scientists seeking contemporary overviews of actin-myosin interaction and actin-based regulation. Contributors include senior scientists as well as the new breed of younger scientists.

Book Info
Volume two of a two-part text based on the Fourth Pentennial Actin Conference held at the new Sheraton Maui in Hawaii in 1997. Companion text, Volume one (Molecular Interactions of Actin: Actin Structure and Actin-Binding Proteins) was published in December 2000.
