Titelbeschreibung

This book covers the latest findings of a wide variety of viral, prokaryotic and eukaryotic macromolecular protein complexes and builds upon the solid macromolecular foundations established by previous volumes of the Subcellular Biochemistry series. Thus, an almost encyclopaedic coverage of the broad field of protein complex structure and function has been established. The 17 interesting chapters included in this book have been organised into four sections: Soluble Protein Complexes, Membrane Protein Complexes, Fibrous Protein Complexes and Viral Protein Complexes. Significant topics present here are: Fatty Acid Synthase, the Fork Protection Complex, Ribonucleotide Reductase, the Kinetochore, G proteins, the FtsEX Complex, the Kainate Receptor, the Photosystem I-antenna, the Mycobacterial Arabinofuranosyltransferases, the the Bacterial Flagellum, the Actomyosin Complex, Motile Cilia, SLS Collagen Polymorphic Structures, and the Reovirus Capsid and Polymerase. Up-dates/expansion of chapter topics present in earlier volumes are now included in chapters here, e.g., those on Ferritin-like proteins and the Multi-tRNA Synthetase. The book is richly illustrated throughout, the result of an impressive integration of structural data from X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. The functional aspects of protein-protein interactions are also given a high priority.

Autorenportrait

J. Robin Harris is a retired structural biologist and electron microscopist. He is an Honorary Professor of the University of Mainz, Germany, where he worked with the group of Professor Juergen Markl, in the Institute of Zoology. Since taking retirement, Robin continued part-time research for a number of years at the University of Newcastle, UK, and acted as an Editor of the Elsevier journal Micron and as Series Editor of the long-standing Springer book series Subcellular Biochemistry.Jon Marles-Wright obtained his PhD in structural biology from the University of Oxford, where he focused on understanding how human immune receptors interact with their targets. For his post-doctoral training he moved to the University of Newcastle, where his research focus moved to bacterial cell biology. In 2012 Jon was appointed to a two-year career development fellowship at the University of Newcastle where he developed his interest in the structural basis of metabolic compartmentalization within bacteria. This was followed by nearly four years at The University of Edinburgh as a Chancellor’s Fellow in the Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology and Centre for Systems and Synthetic Biology. Jon is currently a Senior Lecturer in Microbial Biotechnology in the School of Biology at Newcastle University.

This book covers the latest findings of a wide variety of viral, prokaryotic and eukaryotic macromolecular protein complexes and builds upon the solid macromolecular foundations established by previous volumes of the Subcellular Biochemistry series. Thus, an almost encyclopaedic coverage of the broad field of protein complex structure and function has been established.

The 17 interesting chapters included in this book have been organised into four sections: Soluble Protein Complexes, Membrane Protein Complexes, Fibrous Protein Complexes and Viral Protein Complexes.

The book is richly illustrated throughout, which is the result of an impressive integration of structural data from X-ray crystallography with that from cryo-electron microscopy. Functional aspects of protein-protein interactions are also given a high priority.
