Beskrivning

Providing a survey on current research in eukaryotic signal transduction, some of the topics covered are, the biochemistry and biophysics of cell surface receptors, G-protein mediated signalling pathways, regulation of cyclic AMP, Ca2+, inositol phosphate pathways, the structure and regulation of receptors which are tyrosine protein kinases, and cellular responses to integrated signals.
