Myosins (eBook, PDF)

A Superfamily of Molecular Motors
Redaktion: Coluccio, Lynne M.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This highly authoritative volume highlights the remarkable superfamily of molecular motors called myosins, which are involved in such diverse cellular functions as muscle contraction, intracellular transport, cell migration and cell division. In a timely compilation of chapters written by leading research groups that have made key discoveries in the field, the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms and biological functions of these intriguing proteins is explored.
