Abstract
The origins of this book and its companion volume go back more than 15 years to the first International Meeting devoted to the structure and function of actin. That conference, held in Sydney in 1982 as a satellite of the International Union of Biochemistry in Perth, Australia, resulted in the first Volume in this Series (dos Remedios and Barden 1983). Every 5 years since, an Actin-centric meeting has been held. In 1987, Roberto Colombo (1987) conducted the second meeting in Monza, Italy, and then in 1993 Jim Estes and his colleagues ran a large and successful third meeting in Rochester, New York (Estes et al. 1994).
