Title: Membrane Structure in Disease and Drug Therapy
Description: This cornerstone reference demonstrates that cellular and intracellular membranes are active in every aspect of the body’s physiology and pathophysiology, comparing secondary through quaternary structures and protein sequences, and gauging their influence on health, disease, and drug therapy.Highlights the importance of correlations, homologies, and categorizing mulifunctionality by domain and complex! With the contributions of over 60 experts from countries that span the globe, Membrane Structure in Disease and Drug Therapy  describes interaction with membranous transport systems details reactions with membrane-imbedded receptorsdiscusses activation or inhibition of membrane enzymes and cytosolic-membranous signaling and exchangeoutlines antibacterial and hemolytic actions of helical peptides emphasizes the structure and function of membranes in oxidative stress and the links to Alzheimer’s diseasestudies membrane-associated proteins involved in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney diseasefocuses on insulin action, the glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme, and cystic fibrosis and more!Gaining in complexity but also in completeness, Membrane Structure in Disease and Drug Therapy is required reading for biologists; chemists and biochemists; pharmacists; primary care, family practice, and internal medicine physicians; dermatologists; neurologists; oncologists; infectious disease specialists; pulmonologists; clinical neurologists; and medical school students in these disciplines.
