Product Description
This book explains how smooth muscle contracts through the interaction of myosin with actin, within the context of recent developments in molecular biology. The key enzyme that phosphorylates myosin to convert it from the inactive form to the active form is myosin light chain kinase. The structure and function of this enzyme are described together with the recent findings of its actin-and myosin-binding properties. |
