Heat Shock Response

This book focuses on heat shock response—an active yet transient reprogramming of cellular activities to the needs of a stress protection mechanism designed to minimize heat damage and to optimize restoration of normal cellular activities after the stress period.

Structure and Functions of Heat Shock Proteins

This work places major emphasis on the structure and possible cellular functions of heat shock proteins as well as the analysis of heat shock protein-coding genes by transfection into homologous and heterologous expression systems.

Effects on Gene Expression and Cell Activities

It also discusses heat shock effects on all levels of gene expression, on cell ultrastructure, and metabolic activities.

Target Audience

This unique text is a must for all those who are involved with genetics, nucleic acids research, and cancer research.
