Molecular Motors Methods and Protocols
Molecular Motors Methods and Protocols by Ann O. Sperry, published by Humana Press on November 19, 2010, is a softcover reprint of the hardcover first edition from 2007. This book provides a comprehensive overview of molecular motor proteins, including kinesins, dyneins, and myosins, which are crucial for various cellular processes such as vesicular transport, cell division, and muscle contraction.
Readers will find detailed methods relevant to each motor family, along with techniques for motors outside the three main families, such as dynamin and F1ATPase. This volume is part of the Methods in Molecular Biology series and serves as a valuable reference for cell biologists, biochemists, and molecular biologists studying motor proteins in various model organisms through both in vitro and in vivo approaches. With 252 pages, this edition is designed to support research in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology.
Official synopsis Publisher
Molecular motor proteins comprise three protein superfamilies: kinesins, dyneins and myosins. Together, these proteins produce force for movement in an incredibly wide variety of cellular processes including vesicular transport, cell division, nuclear migration, muscle contraction, mechanochemical transduction, among others. In addition, molecular motors are expressed in both simple eukaryotes and in a tissue specific manner in higher cells. This methods volume explores the extreme functional and structural diversity of molecular motors and presents methods relevant to each motor family. In addition, it describes techniques directed at motors that fall outside of the 3 characterized families (i.e. dynamin and F1ATPase). This volume of the Methods in Molecular Biology series is an essential reference for cell biologists examining the function of motor proteins in a range of model organisms using both in vitro and in vivo techniques. This volume is a valuble source for biochemists and molecular biologists as well.
