It will be a great reference. Richard W. Aldrich, The Journal of General Physiology, July 2015. n excellent source to those wanting to understand, or better understand, basic mechanisms and the diversity of ion channels with respect to cellular function.

Ion channels are proteins with a hole down the middle embedded in cell membranes. Membranes form insulating structures and the channels through them allow and control the movement of charged particles, spherical ions, mostly Na+, K+, Ca++, and Cl-. Membranes contain hundreds or thousands of types of channels, fluctuating between open conducting, and closed insulating states.

The New Benchmark for Understanding the Latest Developments of Ion Channels

Ion channels control the electrical properties of neurons and cardiac cells, mediate the detection and response to sensory stimuli, and regulate the response to physical stimuli. They can often interact with the cellular environment due to their location at the surface of cells. In nonexcitable tissues, they also help regulate basic salt balance critical for homeostasis. All of these features make ion channels important targets for pharmaceuticals.

Handbook of Ion Channels illustrates the fundamental importance of these membrane proteins to human health and disease. Renowned researchers from around the world introduce the technical aspects of ion channel research, provide a modern guide to the properties of major ion channels, and present powerful methods for modeling ion channel diseases and performing clinical trials for ion channel drugs.

Conveniently divided into five parts, the handbook first describes the basic concepts of permeation and gating mechanisms, balancing classic theories and the latest developments. The second part covers the principles and practical issues of both traditional and new ion channel techniques and their applications to channel research. The third part organizes the material to follow the superfamilies of ion channels. This part focuses on the classification, properties, gating mechanisms, function, and pharmacology of established and novel channel types. The fourth part addresses ion channel regulation as well as trafficking and distribution. The final part examines several ion channel-related diseases, discussing genetics, mechanisms, and pharmaceutical advances.

This is probably the most comprehensive book on ion channels and ionic transfers I have ever seen. It is written in a completely professional and natural tone that is much easier to understand than having to read all of the academic articles that are summarized in the book. It is definitely not a coffee table book for a rainy day reading but for serious scientists who would like to review the entire knowledge without having to read each and every article or theory ever presented, it is superb. I am at an awe of its detail and thorough review of this very tiny and most important system of the body. Since ion channels make the body what it is in its functions, this book is more important to read than any other medical book if one really wants to understand how to body works and wants to find the cause of many illnesses.

I recommend to the reader to read the history at the very beginning, which is fascinating, and then skip to those sections of most interest before getting into protein folds at the channels since those will not likely to make much sense without understanding the function of a channel. It also means very little to see protein folds and how ions move until you actually see what an ion means in terms of its function and then you will understand the complexity of the protein fold.

I often wondered why biological and medical books appear to always start with the most complex of topics and then later explain what they meant. I would most certainly move the first chapter to the end. But otherwise the book is a joy and explains a lot to scientists, researchers of human biological functions, and for MDs to understand what those medicines do that they prescribe! This book indirectly explains all there is to know about the state of medicine today and its lack of understanding the basic need for life--hence we end up with all the side effects associated with taking medicines!

The content of the book is very good and it's exactly what I was looking for, but the book I got was literally a photocopy of an original book. It was completely black and white ( except for the paperback cover). Definitely not what the picture showed on the website, not only it clearly looked that it wasn't a photocopy (It shows too much that it was a photocopy), but it wasn't not even a good photocopy. . Too expensive for a cheap photocopy. I don't know if that what they mean when they said its a reprint. I returned it.
