This book discusses the unique ion channels and transporters found within the epithelial tissues of various organs, including the kidney, intestine, pancreas and respiratory tract. Authors focus on demonstrating the crucial roles that each of these channels and transporters play…
This book reviews recent progress in understanding of the signaling and biochemistry of GM3 ganglioside in eukaryotic cells. GM3 is the simplest of the gangliosides and the precursor of other gangliosides. It is expressed in the outer leaflet of plasma cell membranes and has rol…
This book presents the latest knowledge and the most recent research results in the field of ganglioside biochemistry. The early chapters cover all relevant background on sialic acids and their biosynthesis, on N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), which cannot be synthesized by h…
This thesis studies two particular bacterial outer membrane proteins called OmpC and Wzi, focusing on their expression, purification, crystallization and X-ray structure determination. A series of four naturally occurring OmpC mutants were isolated from a single patient with an …
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and related scanning probe microscopies for cell surface analysis, going from the basics to the applications side. It covers all cell types, going from viruses and protoplasts to bacteria and…
