Author Description

Product Description Research on ion channels now crosses most traditional subject boundaries and involves a wide range of approaches including some of the latest techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology, as well as advanced electrophysiology and biophysics. This volume describes up-to-date practicalinformation for some of the most essential and exciting approaches currently available. Topics covered include patch-clamp recording, concepts of single-channel analysis, channel cloning, channel structure, and signal transduction systems. This will be an invaluable source of practical informationfor researchers from a variety of academic backgrounds, whose areas of interest might include membrane biology, membrane ion transport, and membrane transport proteins. Review `As it may be seen, this book will be very useful for all our readers who will certainly take profit to have it in each laboratory, since the presented techniques are universal.'Cellular and Molecular Biology, Vol. 42, No. 3, May 1996 About the Author R.
