The book "Kinesin Protocols" offers a comprehensive and detailed examination of the kinesin protein family, which is responsible for movement along microtubules in eukaryotic cells. It highlights the discovery and characterization of these motor proteins, which play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including mitosis and neuronal transport. With over 200 identified members of the kinesin superfamily, the diversity of motility properties, including direction, speed, and processivity, is thoroughly addressed. The book is aimed at professionals and students seeking a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and functions of kinesins in cell biology. The editor, Isabelle Vernos, has brought together experts from various fields to present the latest insights and methods relevant to the study of these important proteins.
