Review
Nature Cell Biology, Vol. 6, 2004
“Molecular Motors is an excellent source book that provides much-needed up-to-date introduction and an important snapshot of current knowledge of a rapidly expanding field of biology.”
Edgar Meyhofer, Department of mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, Advanced Materials, September3, 2004
“…a unique collection of chapters written by leaders who are well versed with the field…Overall, the book will be an excellent source for both professional and general readers, providing a wide range of in-depth insights into the structure, mechanism, function, and role of molecular motors in the life cycle of a cell.”
Quarterly Review of Biology, March-May 2005
From the Back Cover
A vast body of information in motor mechanisms and potential biomedical and nanobiotechnological applications has been accumulated in recent years.
This handbook summarizes these advances and offers a collection of cutting-edge research on the functionality, regulation, and interactions of a wide range of biological motors. Written by leading experts in the field, insights into a broad range of features ranging from atomic structures, biochemistry, and biophysics to cell biology, developmental biology, and pathology are provided. The treatment of both basic principles as well as biomedical and technical applications makes this volume a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, and clinicians alike – a “Classic” in the years to come.
