✦ Synopsis
and already the information on calmodulin has required revision.
There are four main sections comprising 62 chapters: isolation and characterization of calcium-binding proteins; molecular cloning of these proteins; reagents and methods for their study and finally regulation of calcium and calcium-binding proteins. The first section deals not only with those calcium-binding proteins which are well known, like calmodulin, but also with many newer ones like calcimedin, calelectrins, calregulin and oncomodulin as well as others which have not yet been named. Fortunately, in addition to giving details of methodology, each chapter contains a brief introduction in which the interest or pertinence of the particular material is outlined.
This volume should prove of great interest and relevance to all in the field of cellular biochemistry.
