Springer Myosins: A Superfamily of Molecular Motors - Vol 7

Explore the complex world of molecular motors with Myosins: A Superfamily of Molecular Motors, part of the Proteins and Cell Regulation series. This scientific text examines how myosins form a superfamily with at least two-dozen classes, playing essential roles in various intracellular activities. Readers will gain insights into how these motors drive cell division, cell movement, intracellular transport, and signal transduction. The content utilizes information from state-of-the-art cellular and molecular biological, structural biological, genetic, biochemical, and biophysical techniques. This volume provides information regarding the structure-function relationship and the cellular roles of different myosins across diverse organisms. It is a valuable resource for those studying protein regulation and cellular mechanics.
