<p>This book draws together recent data on both cytoplasmic and flagellar dyneins and the proteins they interact with to give the reader a clear picture of what is currently known about the structure and mechanics of these remarkable macro-molecular machines. Each chapter is written by active researchers with a focus on currently used biophysical biochemical and cell biological methods. In addition to comprehensive coverage of structural information gained by electron microscopy electron cryo-tomography X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance this book provides detailed descriptions of mechanistic experiments by single-molecule nanometry. </p>
