Publisher's Synopsis
Providing both a state-of-the-art review of this active and expanding field and also a background to the techniques and concepts necessary in working towards future developments, this study focuses specifically on protein kinase C.;Protein kinase C plays an important role in the regulation of numerous cellular processes. As a second messenger-regulated protein kinase, it has the unique ability of being able to partition between aqueous and membrane environments. An in-depth study of this protein therefore combines areas of cell regulatory mechanisms, enzymology and membrane biophysics of protein-lipid interaction.
