Actin-Monomer-Binding Proteins

Ed. by Pekka Lappalainen

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive view on actin monomer-binding proteins and the mechanisms by which they contribute to actin dynamics and various actin-dependent cellular processes. This new title contains chapters that describe the basic mechanisms of actin dynamics as well as the structural principles by which various actin-binding proteins interact with actin. The book is suitable further reading for students in advanced cell biology classes.
