Handbook of Dynein (Second Edition)

Dyneins are molecular motors that have been solved, and this new edition contains 14 chapters written by researchers in the US, Europe, and Asia. It focuses more on the motile mechanisms of dynein, especially by biophysical methods such as cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, and single-molecule nanometry. It is a major handbook for frontline researchers and advanced students studying cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology.

Dyneins are intricate molecular motors that play a crucial role in diverse cellular processes, including cilia and flagella motility, vesicular transport, and mitosis. Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2012, a remarkable breakthrough has occurred: the crystal structures of the motor domains of cytoplasmic dynein have been solved, shedding light on the previously unknown intricacies of this massive and complex molecule. This revised edition encompasses 14 chapters authored by researchers from the United States, Europe, and Asia, featuring three new chapters that delve into emerging fields. Additionally, the remaining chapters have undergone substantial updates. In contrast to its predecessor, this book places greater emphasis on the motile mechanisms of dynein, particularly through biophysical methods such as cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, and single-molecule nanometry. It serves as an indispensable handbook for both frontline researchers and advanced students pursuing studies in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology.
