Actin (Protein Profile (Unnumbered).) |
|
|
Book Description
Actins are highly conserved proteins found in virtually all eukaryotic cells. They have prolific roles in cell motility, from the contraction of striated muscle to the movement of organelles within cells, and are known to interact with a diverse number of proteins. This up-to-date edition gives a comprehensive account of actin sequence, mutation, and structure as well as providing insight into ligand-binding sites and drug and toxin binding. ... >> |

Biochemical Pathways: An Atlas of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology |
|
|
From Book News, Inc.
Unlike a biochemistry textbook, this book provides concise information on the metabolic sequences in the pathways, the chemistry and enzymology of conversions, the regulation of turnover, and the effect of disorders. Detailed, color-coded charts are used to explain metabolic pathways and their relationship to regulation pathways. Topics include carbohydrates and the citrate cycle; amino acids and derivatives; tetrapyrroles; nucleic acid metabolism and protein sy... >> |

Mechanics of Motor Proteins and the Cytoskeleton |
|
|
From Book News, Inc.
This book is for biology, physics, and engineering students who want to learn about the principles of protein mechanics and how they apply to the morphology and motility of cells. It provides a physical foundation for molecular mechanics, explaining how small particles respond to mechanical, thermal, and chemical forces. It also discusses cytoskeletal filaments, and motor proteins. The treatment of the subjects is unified in that they are organized around princ... >> |
