Symposia Biologica Hungarica 8. - Symposium on Muscle (1968)
SYMPOSIUM ON MUSCLE SYMPOSIA BIOLOGICA HUNGARICA 8 Edited by E. ERNST and F. B. STRAUB This book contains scientific material discussed during the Symposium, i.e. introductory lectures of about one hour each, and topics discussed during all of the remaining time. The introductory lectures give a general survey of the present situation in muscle research within various special fields, current issues and recent experimental methods. The general discussions following the introductory lectures contain, besides the main topics of debate, several partial results claimed informally by the contributors. The partial results, in spite of their diverging character, have helped in the elucidation of fundamental questions (such as the submicroscopic structure of muscle, the functional role of muscle proteins and of the inorganic substance of muscle as well as the energetics of muscle functioning). Owing to its wide scope, the book is of interest in the field of biochemistry, biophysics, biology, physiology, and of experimental medical science.
