Average rating of 1/5 Almost worthless, 2001-09-10
The rapidly moving field of Cell Signalling is almost impossible to do justice to, but this is a very mediocre effort. Written by a German biochemist, the style is turgid and full of grammatical errors....Helmreich's choice of topics is bizarre and the technical errors numerous. Just one example - his account of PH domains is way out of date, hence factually inaccurate. There are a lot of 3-D structures shown but with little justification - there is no organizing principle in the book. For the most part the illustrations are simplistic, repetitive and boring in style. This is probably to make the book cheap - but it just makes the book LOOK cheap as well! While a cut above Hancock's horrible "Cell Signalling" it is well below Krauss "Biochemistry of Signal Transduction and Regulation" (Wiley-VCH, now in its 2nd edition) which had a lot of problems in the first edition. This is not a text for undergraduates and I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone...
