Photoreceptor Cells, Volume 15 covers the advances in the study of photoreceptor cells. The book discusses biochemical, cell and structural biological, and molecular biological techniques needed for the study of photoreceptor cells. The text also describes the methods for observing the structure of photoreceptor cells and for studying their metabolism. The procedures for photoreceptor cell isolation are also considered. The book further tackles the preparation of proteins involved in rod cell metabolism, with particular emphasis on proteins of the visual transduction cascade. The text also encompasses the application of molecular biological techniques for the examination of molecular components of the visual system and their structure, distribution, and function. Neuroscientists, ophthalmologists, biochemists, and people involved in the study of photoreceptor cells will find the book invaluable.
