Description
A must-have far-reaching text that provides readers with a state-of-the-art molecule update on transmembrane transporters, focusing on the methodological approaches currently employed to better understand how transporters work and how they can be used in cutting edge therapies. Each chapter begins with an overview of the importnat biological questions presently being considered in their field, then presents scientific approaches to address these questions. In explaining approaches, the authors cover bench-top protocols, conceptual frameworks, data obtained, and pitfalls common to the techniques.
Reviews / Votes
"...superb, wide-ranging, and up-to-date volume is highlyrecommended for researchers, college instructors, and graduate andadvanced undergraduate students..." (The Quarterly Review ofBiology, Vol. 7, March 2004) "...introduces many technologies to be used in futurestudies....people, who are interested in transporter research, canget new ideas for next research from this book."(Pharmaceutical Research, Vol. 20, No. 12, December2003)More details

Person
Michael W. Quick received his Ph.D. from Emory University in 1992. Following postdoctoral training at the California Institute of Technology, he joined the faculty at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. His work focuses on the mechanisms by which neurotransmitter transporter function and expression are regulated.
