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 new 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; The Extracellular Matrix FactsBook contains over 40 entries on the diverse group of macromolecules that assemble to form the extracellular matrix, including aggrecan, cartilage matrix proteins, collagens, fibrinogen, and laminins. Entries provide information on molecular structure, isolation, primary structure, database accession numbers, structural and functional sites, gene structure, and key references ER -
