Description

What are the filaments responsible for the texture of cytoplasm and what are their roles in eukaryotic cells? To examine these questions, this volume describes the properties of the individual proteins of the cytoskeleton and their assembly into the filamentous structures that are responsible for the remarkably stiff consistency of cytoplasm. By covering the nature of the cytoskeleton at a molecular level, the book provides the reader with insight into the interactions responsible for the form and motility of the cytoskeleton. Further, it presents analysis and critical discussion on current theories of how such components interact during such processes as intracellular transport, translocation of whole cells, and subdivision.Ideal for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate classes, MOLECULES OF THE CYTOSKELETON provides questions at the end of each chapter to help students test their understanding of the main points. The book also serves as a useful summary of the field for anyone working on cell motility or other aspects of the cytoplasm.
