Photoreceptor Cells, Volume 15

The book covers the advances in the study of photoreceptor cells. The text discusses biochemical, cell and structural biological, and molecular biological techniques needed for the study of photoreceptor cells.

The procedures for observing the structure of photoreceptor cells and for studying their metabolism are also described. The methods for photoreceptor cell isolation are considered as well.

The book further tackles the preparation of proteins involved in rod cell metabolism, with particular emphasis on proteins of the visual transduction cascade.

The application of molecular biological techniques for examining the molecular components of the visual system, including their structure, distribution, and function, is also covered.

Neuroscientists, ophthalmologists, biochemists, and others involved in the study of photoreceptor cells will find this book invaluable.
