Annual Plant Reviews, Protein-Protein Interactions in Plant Biology (Annual Plant Reviews)

New and rapid advances in technology have equipped us with a variety of tools and platforms to ask fundamental questions of telomere regulation and have allowed investigators to carry out experiments using diverse model systems. For example, proteomic, genomic, and molecular approaches have afforded us unprecedented insight into the complex protein interaction networks at work on the telomere chromatin and the detailed information regarding telomere dynamics in response to stress or stimuli. Telomeres and Telomerase: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition builds upon the telomerase assays featured in the popular first edition to encompass many different assays that allow investigators to query the function of telomere proteins and the responses of the telomere DNA, including detailed examinations of biochemical, molecular, and proteomic approaches. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and expert tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Telomeres and Telomerase: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition serves as an ideal, up-to-date guide for investigators further pursing this vital field of study This volume provides, at research and professional level, an overview of our current understanding of the significance of protein-protein interactions in plant biology.

Zielinski Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 7 The importance of protein-protein interactions in biological systems is a rapidly emerging research theme and the revolution taking place in our understanding of plant genomics is enabling us to make exciting discoveries that have implications for both the fundamental and applied plant sciences. This volume provides, at research and professional level, an overview of our current understanding of the significance of protein-protein interactions in plant biology, drawing comparisons with similar interactions in animal cells. The unique biochemistry associated with photosynthesis in higher plants is also addressed. This is a volume for plant biochemists, cell biologists, molecular biologists and physiologists. This is a lucid introduction to some of the mathematical ideas which are useful to biologists. Professor Maynard Smith introduces the reader to the ways in which biological problems can be expressed mathematically, and shows how the mathematical equations which arise in biological work can be solved. Each chapter has a number of examples which present further points of biological and mathematical interest. interest. Professor Maynard Smith's book is written for all biologists, from undergraduate level upwards, who need mathematical tools. Only an elementary knowledge of mathematics is assumed. Since there are already a number of books dealing with statistics for biologists, this book is particularly concerned with non-statistical topics An Introduction To Some Of The Mathematical Ideas Which Are Useful To Biologists ...

The importance of protein-protein interactions in biological systems is a rapidly emerging research theme and the revolution that is taking place in our understanding of plant genomics is enabling us to make exciting discoveries that have implications for both the fundamental and applied plant sciences. This book provides, at research and professional level, an overview of our current understanding of the significance of protein-protein interactions in plant biology. Each chapter considers the biochemical mechanism of the protein-protein interaction and its functional significance, and draws comparisons with similar interactions in animal cells.
