Reviews

From the reviews:“Well-illustrated book provides an overview of different heterologous expression systems available to produce membrane proteins for structural analysis to facilitate understanding of how these proteins function and how their functions can be modified by drug treatment. … Written for students and experienced researchers, the book also will be useful for clinicians interested in the care of patients with cancer … . provides valuable information on membrane proteins for novice and experienced researchers. Clinicians will find it extremely useful for developing methods and protocols for research.” (Omer Iqbal, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2010)
