This book will provide research level information for a broad spectrum of scientists working on molecular aspects of protein phosphorylation-in cancer and cell biology, developmental biology, and genetics.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SERIES
How do you keep track of basic information on the proteins you work with? Where do you find details of their physicochemical properties, amino acid sequences, gene organization? Are you tired of scanning review articles, primary papers and databases to locate that elusive fact? The Academic Press FactsBook series will satisfy scientists and clinical researchers suffering from information overload. Each volume provides a catalogue of the essential properties of families of molecules. Gene organization, amino acid sequences, physicochemical properties, and biological activity are presented using a common , easy-to-follow format. Taken together they compile everything you wanted to know about proteins but were too busy to look for.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Most of the FactsBooks have become essential works of reference for those in the relevant fields it seems certain that The Protein Kinase FactsBook will meet the high expectations of those familiar with the series so far, and help us all keep track of the thousand and one, or maybe more, kinases that are out there. --IMMUNOLOGY TODAY

These volumes concentrate on the ever-increasing number of protein kinases by focusing on mammalian proteins, but also including examples of Drosophila, yeast, Dictyostelium, and other organisms. The more than 150 authors are all experts in their fields. Includes more than 200 entries.
