""This book contains extremely detailed and informative content on
structure and function of ligands, receptors, and signalling
intermediates plus interactions ... the extent of detail and
appropriate referencing is impressive."" -Microbiology Today, July
2009
""A very well-written book suitable for use as a reference or
textbook for an undergraduate subject in cell signalling. For
researchers interested in the molecular basis of cell signalling
and how aberrant regulation of cell signalling proteins causes
diseases, this is an excellent resource of biochemical and
structural information."" -Australian Biochemist, August 2009
""From basics to details, this is an elegantly written and
carefully edited book. The chapters on cell cycle control and
oncogenesis are particularly fascinating and valuable to biomedical
research. This is the book to have if you are interested in
molecular mechanisms of signal transduction. It is a great
introduction to the literature that will be welcomed by students
and experts alike."" -Doody's, January 2009
This text is a concise and accessible introduction to the dynamic
but complex field of signal transduction. Rather than simply
cataloguing all signalling molecules and delineating every known
pathway, this book aims to break signalling down into common
elements and activities - the 'nuts and bolts' of cellular
information exchange.
With an emphasis on clarity of presentation throughout, the book
teaches the basic principles focusing on a mature core of
knowledge, providing students with a foundation of learning in this
complex and potentially confusing subject. It also addresses the
issue of variation in the numbering of key amino acids as well as
featuring interaction with RasMol software, and exercises to aid
understanding.An accessible introduction to the complex field of

throughout
"Structure and Function in Cell Signalling" is an invaluable
resource to students across a range of life science degree
programmes including biochemistry, cell and molecular biology,
physiology, biomedicine and oncology. This book provides a clear,
accessible introduction to this rapidly expanding field.
