This volume is an up date of the previous edition, Protein Targeting Protocols, placing the emphasis on protein targeting to cellular compartments in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. State-of-the-art information is provided on the fast moving fields of import machinery of mitochondria and plastids, as well as a detailed protocol described to follow the movement of protein complexes in bacterial membranes using fluorescent recovery after photobleaching.
