Elastin and Elastases, Volume II

by Ladislas Robert, William Hornebeck

Overview

Written by internationally known European and American scientists, these volumes systematically present many topics in the elastin and elastases fields. Volume I explains elastin, its biosynthesis, physicochemical properties, and alteration in a variety of pathologies and with aging. Volume II describes elastases, their physiological and pathological roles and their control by natural and synthetic inhibitors. Filled with illustrations and figures, these volumes will benefit researchers, physicians, and industrial scientists.

Editorial Reviews

Articles in these two volumes present an overview summary of current knowledge on the protein and the enzymes involved in its degradation, the elastase-type enzymes. Volume I deals with elastin, including its morphology and ultrastructure, its biochemical properties and elastic fibers in cell-matrix interactions. Volume II (6429-2) covers elastases, its mechanism of action, characterization and biological roles, and elastin and elastases in pathology. The two volumes carry their own index. Annotation c.
