Poly(ADP-Ribosyl)ation comprises 19 chapters written by leading international experts in the field and is richly illustrated. Extensive bibliography is given in each chapter.

Poly(ADP-Ribosyl)ation, edited by Alexander Bürkle, provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on this posttranslational modification of proteins, which is intimately linked with DNA repair, maintenance of genomic stability, transcriptional regulation, cell death and a variety of other cellular phenomena as well as with a variety of pathophysiological conditions, including ischemia-reperfusion damage (stroke, myocardial infarction), Parkinson's disease, Type I diabetes mellitus, hemorrhagic and septic shock and other inflammatory conditions. This book comprises 19 chapters written by leading international experts in the field and is richly illustrated.
