Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic stability of cells is a function of co-ordination and counterbalance between intracellular signalling events. Therefore, the knowledge of those molecules which form signalling cascades or signalling modules is of prime importance in understanding living processes. Signalling proteins, the component members of different cascades, are the focus of intense interest. Protein phosphorylation dephosphorylation is the prevalent mechanism by which signalling molecules transduce their signals.

Download or read book Signal Transduction During Biomembrane Fusion written by Danton H. O'Day and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Signal Transduction during Biomembrane Fusion begins with three review articles that put the problem of signal transduction and biomembrane fusion into a general perspective. Each subsequent chapter begins with an introduction which reviews past work on a specific biological system. The authors' current research is then detailed. The chapters conclude with final comments wherein the contributors express viewpoints about the general significance and progression of their work. This book comprises 12 chapters, with the first focusing on signal transduction during biomembrane fusion. The succeeding chapters then discuss the ""focal membrane fusion"" model; osmotic phenomena in membrane fusion; cell signaling and regulation of exocytosis at fertilization of the egg; and signal transduction during exocytosis in mast cells. Other chapters cover protein kinase c and granule membrane fusion; GTP-binding proteins and formation of secretory vesicles; and signal transduction during phagocytosis. The remaining chapters discuss calcium signal transduction pathway and myoblast fusion; phospholipid metabolism during calcium-regulated myoblast fusion; protein kinase c, membrane protein phosphorylation, and calcium influx in chick embryo skeletal myoblast fusion; and signal transduction and cell fusion in dictyostelium. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of neurobiology, zoology, and the biological sciences.
Download or read book Introduction to Cellular Signal Transduction written by Ari Sitaramayya and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of biological communication has grown significantly during the past decade. The advances in knowledge about the chemical nature of signals and their corresponding reception by specialized cells have led to identification, characterization, purification, cloning, and expression of specific receptor molecules. While the earlier literature emphasized com partmentalized treatment of informational molecules and their interaction with receptors, the progress in the recent past has allowed cross-fertilization in the examination of the of actions and mechanisms of steroid and protein hormones and other messengers. Investigators now have an increased ap preciation of the multiple effects of specific hormones and of the diverse responses by receptor proteins to closely related ligands. The task of compil ing this enormous literature into a focused treatise was undertaken with the launching of the series Hormones in Health and Disease. This latest volume, An Introduction to Cellular Signal Transduction, complements the previous monographs in the series and brings to the fore recent developments in the field of biochemical communication. This volume combines discussions on the basic tenets of the signal transduction process and its relevance to health and disease. While various chapters provide exhaustive dissection of specific topics for researchers in the field, the book is also an excellent vehicle for introducing students and new investigators to the subject. The contributors of the chapters are active and accomplished scientists brought together on a common platform by the editor, Dr.
Download or read book Data Mining in Structural Biology written by I. Schlichting and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural biology is becoming a routine technique for structure de termination in pharmaceutical industries. The advances in molecular biology, crystal handling and data collection techniques, tunable syn chrotron radiation sources, and high-performance computing have all contributed to developments such as the production and expression of tailored protein domains, the use of the MAD (Multiple Anomalous Dispersion) method, and the collection of X-ray data from tiny crystals at cryogenic temperature. The number of protein structures deposited in the Protein Databank has increased tremendously over the last 3-4 years. Since 1997, more than 1,500 structures have been deposited each year, and during the first 7 months of this year, 1,500 protein structures were already deposited. The numerous initiatives in the field of "structural genomics" distributed all over the world have led to the development of techniques for high-throughput structure determina tion, thereby contributing to the increase in the determination of three dimensional protein structures. This structural information is being ex plored in various ways in the drug discovery process. It is not only used in structure-based drug design of new low-molecular-weight li gands, but also in the early stages of target validation and assessment. With the number of protein sequences without significant homology to well-known proteins increasing, the technique of structure-sequence compatibility (threading) is increasingly used to assign a function to a given protein fold.
