Title Sensing with Ion Channels Author(s) Martinac, Boris Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2008. Description XXIII, 304 p : online resource Abstract Note All living cells are able to detect and translate environmental stimuli into biologically meaningful signals. Sensations of touch, hearing, sight, taste, smell or pain are essential to the survival of all living organisms. The importance of sensory input for the existence of life thus justifies the effort made to understand its molecular origins. Sensing with Ion Channels focuses on ion channels as key molecules enabling biological systems to sense and process the physical and chemical stimuli that act upon cells in their living environment. Its aim is to serve as a reference to ion channel specialists and as a source of new information to non specialists who want to learn about the structural and functional diversity of ion channels and their role in sensory physiology ISBN,Price 9783540727392 Keyword(s) 1.
