Review quotes

"This is a very important book that covers protein oligomerization in health and disease and provides essential knowledge of the oligomeric protein biology, which is critical to allow pharmacologic interventions in diseases associated with oligomeric protein malfunction. This is a unique book dedicated to fully explaining all about protein oligomerization."—Doody
