The critically acclaimed laboratory standard, Methods in Enzymology, is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. The series contains much material still relevant today - truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences

This volume on Phospholipases, the first of its kind, presents techniques for the assay, purification, and characterization of these enzymes, which are not only degradative enzymes of lipid metabolism but are also key enzymes in the signal transduction pathway.

The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for more than forty years, Methods in Enzymology is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. More than 270 volumes have been published (all of them still in print) and much of the material is relevant even today-truly an essential publication for researchersin all fields of life sciences

Volume 95 provides a convenient index to the contents of Volumes 61 through 74 and Volumes 76 through 80. The nomenclature and usage in the original articles have been retained wherever possible, assisting the reader in locating information. "Notes on the Use of the Index" provides a helpful discussion of the occurrence of entries for a given subject under a variety of names and phraseologies and the order of entries in the index.

This volume provides up-to-date information on the purification and characterization of the enzymes involved in phospholipid biosynthesis and on the mechanisms utilized by cells for the transfer of phospholipids. It also includes protocols for generating phospholipid biosynthetic mutants.

Required reading for anyone involved in cell signaling research with articles written and edited by experts in the field. This title covers disease states such as lymphoid leukemia, breast cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, systemic sclerosis, andinflammatory bowel disease, along with up-to-date research on signaling systems and mutations intranscription factors that provide new targets for treating disease.
