Actin

Actin is a major protein found in virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is an important constituent of the thin filaments of muscle and of the microfilaments - which contribute to the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. This up-to-date edition in the Protein Profile series gives a comprehensive account of actin sequence, mutation and structure as well as providing insight into ligand-binding sites (such as those involved in muscle contraction) and drug and toxin binding.Illustrated throughout, this...
More Description

Actin is a major protein found in virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is an important constituent of the thin filaments of muscle and of the microfilaments - which contribute to the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. This up-to-date edition in the Protein Profile series gives a comprehensive account of actin sequence, mutation and structure as well as providing insight into ligand-binding sites (such as those involved in muscle contraction) and drug and toxin binding.Illustrated throughout, this modern text also contains an extensive bibliography for the interested reader.
