Actin Polymerization in Apicomplexan A Structural, Functional and Evolutionary Analysis /

This book discusses in detail the structural, evolutionary and functional role of actin and its regulatory proteins in gliding motility in apicomplexan organisms, a unique phenomenon found in actin-myosin cytoskeletal elements. The book also explores the potential of different actin regulators, name...
