About the Book

These Sambrook and Tooze Guidebooks provide students and research professionals alike with a unique source of reference to the most up-to-date information available on the proteins involved in cell adhesion, the cytoskeleton, and the extracellular matrix. The first concise compendium of the molecules of the cytoskeleton and those involved in cell movement. This guidebook summarizes the essential features of these proteins, drawing together information from a widely-scattered literature. There has been an explosion of knowledge about the structure, function, and distribution of these proteins and new ones are being discovered all the time. This is the only book where information on so many related proteins can be found. The introductory chapters provide excellent overviews and each entry suggests a quick and easy way to learn about the essentials of each protein supported by key references for in-depth reading.

Table of Contents:
Actin and associated proteins; tubulin and associated proteins; intermediate filament proteins; motor proteins; cytoskeletal anchor proteins; organelle membrane associated structural proteins; other proteins.

Review :
'Indeed, "essential" is the spiritus rector of these Review Quotes these publications ... will be welcomed by those new to these fields and, I dare say, virtually everyone already working in them ... these publications are bound to remain in demand for some time to come and even more likely to become more effective and valuable in the future.' Schliwa, University of Munich, Nature, Vol. 367, Kreis & Vale's Guidebook to Cytoskeletal and Motor Proteins which held the promise of a brief description and "field marks" of around 200 species which fall under this heading ... My first impressions of the book were very favourable ... Each protein is covered in one to three pages under the headings; general properties, purification, activities, antibodies, genes and references and is written by a recognized authority - often the person who first named the protein. The eveness of coverage of proteins which have been characterized at vastly different levels seems a sensible strategy. In principle the Guidebook exists in a useful form for all in perpetuity ... the Guide to Cytoskeletal and Motor Proteins is a welcome addition to the literature.' Clive R. Bagshaw, Journal of Muscle Research and Cell Motility 15 (1994) 'This wonderful book follows its pangalactic stablemate, The Hitchhike's Guide to the Galaxy, in both concept and execution ... it should be explained that Hitchhiker was a hand-held database of key facts about the universe, designed to unfaze, in a few moments, minds temporarily boggled by the weirdness and/or beauty of the universe. This book aims at roughly the same sort of thing with reference to the protein cytoskeleton ... a marvellous compendium of micro-miniaturized character studies of each protein ... is well conceived and outstandingly well executed ... a remarkable achievement ... in its intended use as a reference work it is unparalleled - a tremendous resource. It is hard to overstate its merits ... enormously enthusiastic ... It will broaden your mind. It will rapidly become indispensable in your lab, as it already has in mine. Buy it, buy copies for your friends.' Robert Cross, Marie Curie Research Institute, TIBS 19 - February 1994 'This format not only provides the reader with the information available, but also reveals gaps in our present knowledge. Naturally, books whose function is to catalogue information are destined to obsolescence, but what makes this particular book unique is a commitment by both editors and authors to update their entries on a computer database accessible through the Internet system. The book is suitable for the student and professional biologist alike and also promises to provide a unique opportunity for continually updated material.' Sutherland K. Maciver, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, Trends in Cell Biology, Vol. 4 'A really excellent compendium of essential information on proteins.' Aslib Book Guide, Vol. 59, no. 2, February 1994 'you will find this book of great interest' International Journal of Biochemistry, Vol. 26, No. 6, 1994 'With over 150 entries, this book is unique in bringing together short reviews of numerous molecules, ranging from the famous to the still obscure ... I recommend that anyone seriously interested in keeping track of all the proteins that give eukaryotic cytoplasm its remarkable properties should have this book in his or her laboratory.' Linda Amos, BioEssays, Vol. 16, No. 5, May 1994 `incredible fast laboratory tool ... The price of the new editions will in the end have to make the series a success. I have ordered the issue on the extracellular matrix as well.' Cell Biology International, Vol. 19. No. 4, 1995
