Gerhard Krauss is Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Bayreuth (Germany). His resarch is centered on the mechanism of interaction of DNA binding proteins and their target DNA. He is specifically interested in transcription factor, DNA methyl transferases and nucleotide excision repair. The idea for a textbook on Signal Transduction and Gene Regulation originated from a lecture course that he has been teaching at Bayreuth since the middle of the 1990s.
"This book offers a very nice general overview of the current knowledge of signal transduction and regulation. The author has done an excellent job of assimilating an inherently complicated subject into clear, simple, and logical descriptions." ( The Quarterly Review of Biology , June 2009) "Krauss has set out to update a general resource for those with interest in signal transduction. The addition of an introductory chapter (Ch.1) makes this edition well pitched to undergraduate with some knowledge of cell biology and biochemistry and would serve as a suitable textbook for an upper-level undergraduate course in this area. the text would also be a useful reference to beginning graduate students in signal transaction and a ready compliment to course that rely on primary literature for course discussions. For instructors, this book would make an excellent companion for teaching signal transduction, as the figures are well laid out and illustrate clearly many points."
