Description
Living cells are constantly sensing environmental changes, and their abilities to sense these changes and adapt to them are essential
for their survival. In bacteria, histidine kinases are the major sensors for these environmental stresses, enabling cells to adapt to
new growth conditions.
Written by leading experts in the field, this book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive review on the
structure and function of histidine kinases. It also provides extensive information on the physiological roles of histidine kinases in
bacteria and eukaryotes.
An an essential reference for cell biologists, microbiologists, molecular biologists, and biochemists interested
in signal transduction. Experimental biologists and pharmacologists studying signal transduction systems in living organisms will also
find it a valuable research tool.
Audience:
Biochemists; molecular biologists, experimental biologists; pharmocologists; pharmaceutical companies with R&D programs in broad spectrum
antibiotics; and specialists studying signal transduction systems in living organisms.
