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 Just one example - his account of PH domains is way out of date, hence factually inaccurate.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...

Average rating of 4/5 Clear Introductory Text, 2001-05-03
This is a relatively easy introduction to cell signalling. Material is fairly up-to-date and many useful diagrams. Lists of references and further reading for those who wish to explore further. Probably one of the best texts available for an introduction to cell signalling.
