This volume illustrates the extent to which the traditional
distinction between biochemical and physiological processes is
being obliterated by molecular biology. It can hardly be doubted
that the revolution in cell and molecular biology is leading to
core knowledge that provides an outline of the integrative and
reductionist approach. We view this as the beginning of a new era,
that of the integration of learning.
As in the preceding volumes, the choice of topics has been
deliberate not only because of the need to keep the volume within
reasonable bounds but also because of the need to avoid information
over-load. Several relevant topics are dealt with in other modules;
for example, the role of G proteins in transmembrane signalling is
covered in the Membranes and Cell Signalling module (i.e., Volume
7). Omissions are of course inevitable but they are minor. A case
in point is the subject of phosphatases, the treatment of which
does not take into account calcineurin. One of the key functions of
this Ca2+ -activated protein phosphatase that is also regulated by
calmodulin is to desphosphorylate voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels.
The mere recognition of such omissions before or after consulting
textbooks and journals should be a spur to a more complete
discussion by the student of the subject in a small group teaching
setting.
