Prokaryotic Cytoskeletons Filamentous Protein Polymers Active in the Cytoplasm of Bacterial and Archaeal Cells

Prokaryotic Cytoskeletons Filamentous Protein Polymers Active in the Cytoplasm of Bacterial and Archaeal Cells / edited by Jan Löwe, Linda A. Amos.

This book describes the structures and functions of active protein filaments, found in bacteria and archaea, and now known to perform crucial roles in cell division and intra-cellular motility, as well as being essential for controlling cell shape and growth. These roles are possible because the cyt...
