Transport Proteins

Transport Proteins, Volume 123, provides the latest information on the two major groups of transport proteins, those that carry molecules to different locations within a cell or organism and those that carry molecules across otherwise impermeable membranes. Chapters in the updated release include Biology of Iron Transport: Ferroportin, Transport of transition metals across biological membranes, The effect of sport and physical activity on transport proteins: implications for cancer prevention and control, Structural rearrangement in polyketide synthase for improvement its bio-physicochemical properties, Autophagy Proteins and its Homeostasis in Cellular Environment, and much more.Integrates experimental and computational methods for studying the structure and function of transport proteins and their implication in drug designContains timely chapters written by well-renowned authorities in their fieldIncludes a high number of top quality illustrations, figures and tables, and targets a very wide audience of specialists, researchers and students
