Gain Insight in to Structure and Function in Cell Signalling

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/808eaa/structure_and_func)
has announced the addition of the "Structure and Function in Cell
Signalling" report to their offering.

Structure and Function in Cell Signalling is a concise and
accessible introduction to the dynamic but complex field of signal
transduction. Rather than simply cataloguing all signalling molecules
and delineating every known pathway, this book aims to break
signalling down into common elements and activities - the 'nuts and
bolts' of cellular information exchange.

With an emphasis on clarity of presentation throughout, the book
teaches the basic principles focusing on a mature core of knowledge,
providing students with a foundation of learning in this complex and
potentially confusing subject. It also addresses the issue of
variation in the numbering of key amino acids as well as featuring
interaction with RasMol software, and exercises to aid understanding.

- An accessible introduction to the complex field of cell
signalling

- Interacts with RasMol software - freely downloadable for viewing
structures in 3D

- Includes exercises and clear instructions in the use of RasMol

- Well illustrated in full colour throughout

Structure and Function in Cell Signalling is an invaluable
resource to students across a range of life science degree programmes
including biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, physiology,
biomedicine and oncology. This book provides a clear, accessible
introduction to this rapidly expanding field.

Key Topics Covered:

- The components and foundations of signalling

- Enzymes and receptors - quantitative aspects

- Modules and motifs in transduction

- Protein kinase enzymes - activation and auto-inhibition

- 7-pass receptors and the catabolic response

- Single pass growth factor receptors

- G proteins (I) - monomeric G proteins

- G proteins (II) - heterotrimeric G proteins

- The insulin receptor and the anabolic response

- Mitogens and cell cycle progression
