Produktbeschreibung

Dyneins are biological molecular motors that move along microtubules and drive a surprisingly wide range of essential cellular processes. This book offers information on both cytoplasmic and flagellar dyneins and the proteins they directly interact with, combining data obtained with a range of biophysical, biochemical and cell biological methods.

---

This book draws together recent data on both cytoplasmic and flagellar dyneins and the proteins they interact with, to give readers a clear picture of what is currently known about the structure and mechanics of these remarkable macro-molecular machines. Each chapter is written by active researchers, with a focus on currently used biophysical, biochemical, and cell biological methods. This is a useful handbook for frontline researchers as well as a textbook for advanced students.
