Editorial Reviews

Review

"The purpose of this volume is to discuss key features of eight of the less common collagens. This is a ready source of information about these collagens, and, as such, will be valuable to all investigators working in this area. A useful data set provided for each type includes sequence information (including database citations), key structural features, variants, modifications (glycosylation, cross-linking), gene structure, chromosomal location, tissue distribution, and genetic abnormalities. The discussions in each area are brief and targeted to research workers. There is a comprehensive bibliography of about 1,200 references. The coverage is sufficiently broad to recommend this as a useful and convenient resource for most laboratories dealing with protein structure or connective tissue organization." -- Doody's
