This volume covers the entire spectrum of research on troponin and related muscle proteins, including pathophysiological and clinical aspects. It details recent advances in work on the genetic disorders of cardiac troponin and ryanodine receptor proteins. Many color figures illustrate the three-dimensional structures of the proteins involved in the muscle functions. The book will help readers understand characteristic features of the regulatory mechanisms of striated muscle contraction and their disorders at the molecular level.
The papers in this volume were contributed by close friends, co-workers and pupils of Professor Setsuro Ebashi. They are dedicated to him to commemorate his great and pioneering contribution to the advancement of muscle physiology and biochemistry, which, in time, exerted a great influence on the whole field of life science. We believe that this issue reveals the present state of research on muscle and/or calcium that was opened up by Professor Ebashi.
In the immediate aftermath of World War II, more than a quarter million Jewish survivors of the Holocaust lived among their defeated persecutors in the chaotic society of Allied-occupied Germany. Jews, Germans, and Allies draws upon the wealth of diary and memoir literature by the people who lived through postwar reconstruction to trace the conflicting ways Jews and Germans defined their own victimization and survival, comprehended the trauma of war and genocide, and struggled to rebuild their lives. In gripping and unforgettable detail, Atina Grossmann describes Berlin in the days following Germany's surrender--the mass rape of German women by the Red Army, the liberated slave laborers and ...
Charts the transnational story of Romanian Germans in modern Europe - their migration, their position as a minority, and their memories.
This is a fascinating collection of personal accounts which is a "must read" for anyone interested in membrane transport or the history of the development of the current picture of membrane transport physiology. This delightful book could serve variously as a history for investigators and historians or as a textbook for advanced students. No biology or medical library should be without it
Current Topics in Bioenergetics, Volume I presents the molecular basis of biological energy transduction. This book focuses on photosynthetic reactions. Organized into seven chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the second photosystem that evolves oxygen from water. This text then presents a brief historical background of fluorescence in relation to the development of the two-pigment-system concept of photosynthesis and indicates the significance of fluorescence measurements in the study of photosynthesis. Other chapters consider mitochondrial ion transport, its relation to active transport in cells, and its possible effects on muscle contraction. This book discusses as well the concept of uncoupling in oxidative phosphorylation. The reader is also introduced to the biochemical basis of luminescence, which has been investigated in several organisms. The final chapter deals with the study of mitochondrial cations and of the cation transport. This book is a valuable resource for biochemists, molecular biologists, scientists, and research workers.
