Synopsis

Lipid modifications of proteins play important roles in cellular signalling, protein targeting and cell growth and differentiation. The enzymes which catalyze these reactions are already seen as novel therapeutic targets. This book is a guide to the latest methods in use in this discipline.

Review

'This book is a comprehensive and authoritative collection of the methods that have been employed to detect and characterize these particular lipid modifications. The editors are to be commended for collecting chapters from undoubted leaders in each respective field ... the wealth of
information ... is accurate and clearly laid out, and this book represents a useful addition to the 'Practical Approach' series.'
C.M. Newman, NIMR, London, Trends in Cell Biology, April 1993, Volume 3, Number 4

'The book is packed with technical details in the now familiar style of the Practical Approach series. It is an excellent and lucid volume with contributions from many of the foremost researchers in the field of lipid modifications, and is clearly intended as a companion in the research
laboratory. Since there are no comprehensive tests on lipid-associated proteins, this book will also have a place as a reference volume on the bookshleves of graduate students and lecturers in many biochemistry and cell biology departments.'
Petr Robinson, Biochemical Education 21(3) 1993
