Most of the information on the functional role, structure and molecular
biology of creatine kinase is scattered in several hundreds of
publications. The editors of this volume invited all authors who are
most active at present in experimental research on creatine kinases to
summarize their work and make the information easily available to a
wider scientific audience, especially to young investigators who are
entering this field. Since the functional role of coupled creatine
kinases is directly related to the phenomenon of compartmentation and
structural organization of metabolic networks, we also invited experts
in the related areas to contribute to the volume. Almost all invited
authors responded enthusiastically and the results of this collective
work are presented here.
For biochemists, biophysicists, physiologists, and medical research
workers.
