Cellular proteolytic systems, volume 15. Edited by Aaron J. Ciechanover and Alan L. Schwartz. Modern Cell Biology Series. New York: John Wiley and Sons. (1994). 233 pp. $84.95

To classical biochemists, enzymologists, or cell biologists, proteolysis has been a problem that could wreak havoc with weeks of meticulous work when they find a particular activity is "dead" as a result of proteolytic degradation. Indeed, it may not be entirely coincidental that several proteases have the syllables "pain" in their names. In the past decade, proteases have assumed new respectab...

Corrections to Crystallographic Groups of Four-Dimensional Space by Brown et al. (1978) [New York: Wiley and Sons].

There is an error in the tabulation of enantiomorphic space-group types given in the book Crystallographic Groups of Four-Dimensional Space by Brown et al. (1978). It has recently been found by one of us (BS) while extending the derivation of the enantiomorphism of crystallographic groups up to dimension 6. We refer to the terminology of the book. In the book, it is wrongly claimed that the (af...
