Description
Biological systems abound with examples of molecular motors - biological machines for converting the chemical energy of ATP into mechanical movement by cells - they play pivotal roles in diverse cellular function. This volume, covers many of the most exciting developments in the field, including: all of the main motor systems; the application of Gene-cloning methods and the recent advances; and human disorders involving defects in molecular motor systems such as hearing loss and heart disease.
