Description: The authors have concisely compiled structure, function, and toxicity data for 78 protein toxins in a unique, accessible format that allows cell biologists to learn how protein toxins have aided in the dissection of cellular processes. --Journal of Chemical Education"Both our understanding of the actions of protein toxins and their uses as tools in cell biology have undergone an explosion in recent years. It almost seems that there is now a toxin to disrupt every aspect of cell metabolism. This volume is composed of short (1 to 3 page) summaries on the mechanism of action and uses of over 75 different protein toxins. It will be an invaluable reference for biological sciences and medical school libraries. Given the rapid pace of progress in this area, an additional attraction of this work is that updated information will be available on the World Wide Web."--The Quarterly Review of Biology
