Hormone Action, Part D: Isolated Cells, Tissues, and Organ Systems, Volume 39: Volume 39: Hormone Action Part D (Methods in Enzymology, V039)

The critically acclaimed laboratory standard, Methods in Enzymology, is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. The series contains much material still relevant today - truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences. pt. A. Steroid hormones. pt. B. Peptide hormones. pt. C. Cyclic nucleotides. pt. D. Isolated cells, tissues, and organ systems. pt. E. Nuclear structure and function. pt. F. Protein kinases / edited by Jackie D. Corbin, Joel G. Hardman. pt. G. Calmodulin and calcium-binding proteins / edited by Anthony R. Means, Bert W. O'Malley. The concentration of "free" (unbound) hormones (e.g., steroids, thyroxine) and drugs in plasma is "buffered" by their interactions with plasma proteins.
