Publisher's Synopsis
Each volume of "Advances in Pharmacology" provides a rich collection of reviews on timely topics. Emphasis is placed on the molecular bases of drug action, both applied and experimental.;Signal transduction is one of the most rapidly expanding fields in biomedical research. Written by renowned experts, "Intracellular Signal Transduction" provides up-to-date reviews on the role of protein phosphorylatin cascades, and the structure, regulation, and function of protein kinases and phosphatases. This volume was compiled in honour of Dr. Edwin Krebs' pioneering work in the field of signal transduction which earned him a Nobel Prize. It provides information in a variety of areas relating to the bio-chemistry, cell biology, and pharmacology of the signal transduction process in eukaryotic cells.
