Multicellular organisms must be able to adapt to cellular events to accommodate prevailing conditions. Sensory-response circuits operate by making use of a phosphorylation control mechanism known as the "two-component system." Sections in Two-Component Signaling Systems, Part B include: - Structural Approaches - Reconstitution of Heterogeneous Systems - Intracellular Methods and Assays - Genome-Wide Analyses of Two-Component Systems - Presents detailed protocols - Includes troubleshooting tips

The aim of Numerical Computer Methods, Part D is to brief researchers of the importance of data analysis in enzymology, and of the modern methods that have developed concomitantly with computer hardware. It is also to validate researchers' computer programs with real and synthetic data to ascertain that the results produced are what they expected. Selected Contents: Prediction of protein structure Modeling and studying proteins with molecular dynamics Statistical error in isothermal titration calorimetry Analysis of circular dichroism data Model comparison methods

The contributions in this volume emphasize analysis of experimental data and analytical biochemistry, with examples taken from biochemistry.
