Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 2091))

Abstract

The multitudinous inositol phosphate family elicits a wide range of molecular effects that regulate countless biological responses. In this review, I provide a methodological viewpoint of the manner in which key advances in the field of inositol phosphate research were made. I also note some of the considerable challenges that still lie ahead.
