Kurzbeschreibung
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 understand and apply their knowledge. The book addresses the issue of variation in the numbering of key amino acids as well as featuring an accompanying website, interaction with RasMol (molecular rendering software), and exercises to aid understanding.
