Molecular Aspects of Cellular Regulation - 5: Calmodulin

Meer over het boek

Since its discovery as an activator of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase in 1970, it has gradually become clear that calmodulin is a remarkable multifunctional protein that is responsible for mediating many of the actions of the second messenger calcium ions in eucartyotic cells. This book highlights the recent impressive advances in understanding the structure of the protein and its gene, how it recognises target proteins, and the complexities of the enzyme systems which it activates.
