description: Praise for the Series<br>"The <b>Methods in Enzymology</b> series represents the gold-standard."<br>--NEUROSCIENCE<br>"Incomparably useful." <br>--ANALYTICAL BIOCHEMISTRY<br>"It is a true 'methods' series, including almost every detail from basic theory to sources of equipment and reagents, with timely documentation provided on each page." <br>--BIO/TECHNOLOGY<br>"The series has been following the growing, changing and creation of new areas of science. It should be on the shelves of all libraries in the world as a whole collection." <br>--CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRY<br>"The appearance of another volume in that excellent series, <b>Methods in Enzymology</b>, is always a cause for appreciation for those who wish to successfully carry out a particular technique or prepare an enzyme or metabolic intermediate without the tiresome prospect of searching through unfamiliar literature and perhaps selecting an unproven method which is not easily reproduced." <br>--AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGY NEWS<br>"If we had some way to find the work most often consulted in the laboratory, it could well be Colowick and Kaplan's multi-volume series <b>Methods in Enzymology</b>...a great work." <br>--ENZYMOLOGIA<br>"A series that has established itself as a definitive reference for biochemists." <br>--JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY

  No discussion of cell structure can do justice to its dynamics. Cell components are in continuous motion 
  and change. Even when cells appear to be in a steady state, membrane-enclosed vesicles are continuously 
  formed at the cell surface, material is taken up and processed, new molecules are produced and 
  components are brok
