This volume of the established Subcellular Biochemistry series presents 20 chapters dealing
with a broad range of interesting protein complexes. It will enable researchers to readily
appreciate the major contribution from both X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy
in this field of study.The biological significance of these structural studies is emphasised
throughout the book. The diversity of the material included here indicates the breadth of this
field and the tremendous progress that has been made in recent years.The book is directed
primarily to advanced students and researchers in structural biology and others in the
biochemical sciences. It will be supplemented by other related books within the Subcellular
Biochemistry series. One of the Editors (JM-W) is actively involved in structural biology and
the other (JRH) as a retired academic and the Series Editor of Subcellular Biochemistry has
long experience at editing multi-authorbooks.
