Editors:
- Covers the entire spectrum of research on the regulatory mechanisms of skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction
- Biomedical researchers will be especially interested in the recent advances in work on the genetic disorders of cardiac troponin and ryanodine receptor proteins, which are described in the book
- Many color figures illustrate the three-dimensional structures of the proteins involved in the muscle functions (troponin, Ca-pump protein, molecular motor proteins, etc.)
- Readers will derive from this book characteristic features of the regulatory mechanisms of striated muscle contraction and their disorders at the molecular level
Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (AEMB, volume 592)

Reviews
From the reviews:
"This book comprehensively covers the accumulated knowledge of the regulatory mechanisms controlling striated muscle contraction. The organization and presentation of basic research findings … result in an excellent book that accurately represents the history and current state of the field. … It is written for practitioners of basic and clinical research in the field of striated muscle function and dysfunction. … It contains a wealth of information that is organized in an excellent manner, allowing the reader to quickly locate areas of interest and relevance." (Kristin L. Gosselink, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2008)
