Incorporating the many recent developments in the field, Structure and Function in Cell Signalling is a concise and accessible introduction to the dynamic field of signal transduction. The book demystifies cell signaling through a nuts and bolts approach by illustrating the way signaling pathways are made up from common components. This active learning approach help readers to understand and apply their knowledge. The book addresses the issue of variation in the numbering of key amino acids and features an accompanying website, interaction with RasMol (molecular rendering software), and exercises to aid understanding.
- An introductory text that carefully explains the basic principles with the latest developments
- Shows how signalling pathways are made up from common components to help simplify this complex subject
- Accompanying website features schematic representations and animations of mechanisms
- Interaction with RasMol, molecular rendering software
- Includes a glossary of multiple terms for genes that includes derivation of acronyms and exercises to aid understanding
- Takes full advantage of the recent high definition x-ray crystal structures of the important proteins and complexes.
