Hardback. Num Pages: 91 pages, 35 black & white illustrations, 4 colour illustrations, 25 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: MBG; MQW; PHVN; TCB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 6. Weight in Grams: 311.
This book describes a new family of bio-polymer gels made from cytoskeletal proteins - actin, microtubule, and tropomyosin. The importance of the gel state with multi-scale hierarchical structure is emphasized to utilize emergent functions in living organisms. Detailed protocol of gel preparation, specified method of structure investigation, and dynamic studies of self-organization, self-healing, synchronized oscillating, and autonomous motility functions are introduced together with biomimetic functions of synthetic hydrogels.
