Reviews

This is a concise but comprehensive book that would be a valuable reference for any researcher who wishes to study this important cytoplasmic motor protein. It would be a valuable book to have in the laboratory as well as a useful reference book in a life sciences library. - Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
