The Networking of Chaperones by Co-chaperones [Paperback]

The Networking of Chaperones by Co-chaperones updates the current understanding of how chaperones are regulated and networked. It is a resource for those in the specialized field of cell stress and chaperones. The book will also be of interest to those in broader cross-cutting field such as cellular networks and systems biology.

From the reviews:

Networking of chaperones by co-chaperones is the first published volume dedicated solely to cochaperones. & This volume contains 11 chapters on separate topics contributed by authorities in the field. & Each contains a brief, but very informative introduction to the topic; an excellent aid for newcomers to the field. & This reviewer found all of the chapters to be very readable and thought-provoking. & it is highly recommended for both newcomers and senior investigators in this field. (David Toft, Cell Stress and Chaperones, Vol. 13, 2008)

Intended as a ready resource for key information on the concepts underpinning the regulation of chaperone by co-chaperones
