on structure and function of ligands, receptors, and signalling
intermediates plus interactions ... the extent of detail and
appropriate referencing is impressive." -Microbiology
Today, July 2009
"A very well-written book suitable for use as a reference or
textbook for an undergraduate subject in cell signalling. For
researchers interested in the molecular basis of cell signalling
and how aberrant regulation of cell signalling proteins causes
diseases, this is an excellent resource of biochemical and
structural information." -Australian Biochemist, August
2009
"From basics to details, this is an elegantly written and
carefully edited book. The chapters on cell cycle control and
oncogenesis are particularly fascinating and valuable to biomedical
research. This is the book to have if you are interested in
molecular mechanisms of signal transduction. It is a great
introduction to the literature that will be welcomed by students
and experts alike." -Doody's, January 2009
This text 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.
John Nelson, Queen's University, Belfast, UK.
"Richly illustrated with full-color molecular graphics (created by
RasMol, a freeware molecular visualization program), Structure
and Function in Cell Signaling provides a clear, engaging
introduction to signal transduction. Each of the book's 10 chapters
includes tables and charts in color to illustrate signal
transduction pathways and genetic relationships between signal
transduction molecules. Nelson (Queens Univ. Belfast, UK) provides
enough background information to make this complex subject
accessible even to beginning students. Readers can easily re-create
all of the molecular graphics for themselves in an interactive
format by following simple instructions included in the appendix.
Signal transduction has applications in all of the biological
sciences. Thus, students in cell biology, biochemistry, immunology,
molecular genetics, and other life sciences will all find much
valuable information in this work. Summing Up: Highly
recommended. Academic libraries, all levels."(Choice,
February 2009)
