Moving Questions
This book describes a half century of research on cellular membrane transport and on metabolic energy capture and utilization. During this time-which begins in the late 1930s-the effort and imagination of various scientists overthrew reigning formulations, created novel explanatory models, and unified previously distinct experimental fields. My primary goal is to display the course of that research, showing how new experiments defined novel entities and processes, and how an encompassing field, bioenergetics, then emerged. A secondary goal is to present examples of mainstream biological research that illustrate how experimental results-seen as refutations, confirmations, and elabora tions-ca...
Vanadium in Biological Systems
Over the past several decades, vanadium has increasingly attracted the interest of biologists and chemists. The discovery by Henze in 1911 that certain marine ascidians accumulate the metal in their blood cells in unusually large quantities has done much to stimulate research on the role of vanadium in biology. In the intervening years, a large number of studies have been carried out to investigate the toxicity of vanadium in higher animals and to determine whether it is an essential trace element. That vanadium is a required element for a few selected organisms is now well established. Whether vanadium is essential for humans remains unclear although evidence increasingly suggests that it p...
The Ion Pumps
Conference proceedings on the structure, function, and regulation of ion pumps.
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases in Cancer
This book aims to bridge the gap in understanding how protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), which carry out the reverse reaction of tyrosine phosphorylation, feature in cancer cell biology. The expertly authored chapters will first review the general features of the PTP superfamily, including their overall structure and enzymological properties; use selected examples of individual PTP superfamily members, to illustrate emerging data on the role of PTPs in cancer; and will review the current status of PTP-based drug development efforts. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases in Cancer,from renowned researchers Benjamin Neel and Nicholas Tonks, is invaluable reading for researchers in oncology, stem cell signaling,and biochemistry.
Na, K-ATPase and Related Cation Pumps
This text focuses on research on the structure, molecular mechanisms, physiological regulation, and involvement in disease of Na, K-ATPase and other members of the family of cation pumps. Prominent members of this family include gastric H, K-ATPase, Ca-ATPase of sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane Ca-ATPase, and plasma membrane of H-ATPase of fungi and higher plants, as well as heavy metal pumps. The volume includes details of the first high-resolution structure ever obtained of a P-type pump, the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase; this structure has great predictive power relative to all P-type pumps. There are 50 papers and 97 poster papers altogethe
