Structural Biology of Antiapoptotic Proteins of Bcl-2 Family

Explore the fundamental mechanics of cell life and death with this specialized scientific text. This book provides a deep look into the BCL-2 family proteins, which serve as regulators of the apoptotic process. By examining recent structure-based insights, readers gain a clear understanding of how antiapoptotic BCL-2 family proteins function and how they interact with various ligands. While the text focuses on apoptotic processes within mammals, it provides extensive coverage of viral homologues of Bcl-2 family antiapoptotic proteins. This makes it an essential resource for researchers and students studying protein biochemistry, synthesis, structure, and cellular functions. Whether you are looking into protein-ligand interactions or the structural biology of specific protein families, this volume offers detailed scientific knowledge for your academic or professional library.
