Folding for the Synapse
Folding for the Synapse by Andreas Wyttenbach, published by Springer US on November 20, 2014, is a comprehensive exploration of protein folding and misfolding in relation to synapse function. This edition, consisting of 318 pages, delves into the role of molecular chaperones in regulating protein dynamics, highlighting their importance not only in de novo protein folding but also in maintaining physiological functions within protein complexes.
Readers will find a detailed discussion on the mechanisms of folding machineries and the biological significance of chaperone functions. The book addresses key topics in medical and life sciences, particularly within the fields of neuroscience and molecular biology. By examining the interplay between protein dynamics and synaptic health, this work contributes to a deeper understanding of cellular processes and their implications in research and biochemistry.
Official synopsis Publisher
Folding for the Synapse addresses the current view on how protein folding and misfolding, controlled by molecular chaperones, contribute to synapse function and dysfunction. Molecular chaperones have been studied in relation to de novo protein folding, but there is increasing awareness that chaperone function is required for the regulation of protein dynamics when functioning physiologically as an isolated moiety or part of a protein complex. This book will introduce both important concepts of folding machineries and give examples of the biological relevance of further chaperone functions.
