Molecular biology Books

This book informs the reader about the practical methods, possibilities, and limits of template chromatography. It shows the various techniques for immobilization of nucleic acids fragments, polynucleotides, and nucleic acids by which the desired...

The living organisms and systems possess extraordinary properties of programmed development, differentiation, growth, response, movement, duplication of key molecules and in m any cases higher mental functions. But the...

This is the first volume on the role of metal ions in regulating genes to focus not only on toxicity effects of metals but also on the role of metal ions in normal metabolisms, in both prokaryotes and in eukaryotes. This...

Viruses and Society is geared towards professionals and students in college-level introductory biology courses devoted to understanding viruses, vaccines, and their global impact. The beginning of the book introduces cells, DNA, and viruses themselves...

Epigenetics is the study of heritable phenotype changes that do not entail changes in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic abnormalities have emerged as the most promising biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in the early stage of illnesses, such as cancer,...

A significant advance in understanding skeletal muscle adaptation to physical training has been the observation that nutrients and exercise work in synergy to enhance muscle protein synthesis. Physical activity triggers an adaptive response to which...

An intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) is a protein in which the fixed or ordered three-dimensional structure is absent, generally when its macromolecular interaction partners, such as other proteins or RNA are absent. The flexible structure of these...

Advances in Plant Disease Management: Fundamental and Basic Research (Vol I) is an invaluable compilation for researchers/students/stakeholders/policymakers in Agriculture. The book aims to offer the latest understanding of fundamental and basic research...

Presenting all preclinical and clinical information available on genetically engineered toxins, this unique, single-source reference provides the most up-to-date methods and practical examples for conducting clinical studies in toxin molecular biology...

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as...

An understanding of the mechanisms by which plants perceive environmental cues, both physical and chemical, and transduce the signals that influence specific expression of genes, is an area of intensive scientific research...

The organizational history of Caltech is the loom on which Kay has woven an intricate fabric of the molecular vision of life.

Proper development and differentiation of B lymphocytes is es­ sential to ensure that an organism has the ability to mount an effective humoral immune response against foreign antigens. The immune system must maintain a balance...

Allohexaploid bread wheat and diploid barley are two of the most cultivated crops in the world. This book reports novel research and reviews concerning the use of modern technologies to understand the molecular bases for wheat and barley improvement. The...

The field of molecular anthropology has grown in recent years with the advent of new methodologies and theoretical assumptions. The field has been particularly insightful in helping understand the initial peopling of North America. The author discusses...

Gap junction channels are a group of intercellular channels expressed in tissues and organs to synchronize many physiological processes. Pannexin channels are a family of closely related large-pore channels virtually unknown a decade ago. The field of...

In aerobic tissues such as heart, brain, kidney, liver and brown fat, mitochon­ dria account for more than 20% of cell protein and play an essential role in res­ piration, ATP formation, ketogenesis, gluconeogenesis, amino acid...

As the First International Conference on Water and Ions in Biological Systems (Bucharest, June 25-27, 1980) was appreciated as a success, a second one was organized in the fall of the year 1982 under the sponsorship of the...

Membrane fusion is an important molecular event which plays a pivotal role in many dynamic cellular processes, such as exocytosis, endocytosis, membrane biogenesis, fertilization, etc. While many reports on the physico-chem1cal...
