Enzymology at the Membrane Interface: Intramembrane Proteases

Enzymology at the Membrane Interface: Intramembrane Proteases, Volume 584, the latest release in the Methods in Enzymology series, covers a subset of enzymes that work in the environment of the biological cell membrane. This field, called interfacial enzymology, involves a special series of experimental approaches for the isolation and study of these enzymes.
