Molecular Biology of the Cell has been described as "the most influential cell biology textbook of its time".

Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. Chapter 3: Sage Arbor (Marian University Indianapolis), Jennifer Armstrong (Scripps College), David Baker (University of Washington, Seattle), Anne Bertolotti (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, United Kingdom), Ashok Bidwai (West Virginia University), Douglas Briant (University of Victoria, Canada), Ken Dill (State University of New York, Stony Brook), David S. Finally, we are thrilled to offer online assessment, for the first time, with the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork—reimagining the classic companion text, The Problems Book, for twenty-first century instructors and students.The cell must also contain all of the machinery needed to gather raw materials from the environment and to construct from them a new cell in its own image, complete with a new copy of the hereditary information of its parent. Molecular Biology of the Cell 7th Edition is written by Bruce Alberts; Rebecca Heald; Alexander Johnson; David Morgan; Martin Raff; Keith Roberts; Peter Wal and published by W. They can serve either as an introduction for those who have not studied biochemistry or as a refresher course for those who have. The new strand therefore has a nucleotide sequence complementary to that of the old strand and a backbone with opposite directionality: thus, GTAA.

In this way, a double-strand structure is created, consisting of two exactly complementary sequences of A’s, C’s, T’s, and G’s. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. He was the editor-in-chief of Science magazine from 2008 until 2013, and for twelve years he served as president of the U. Part V follows the behavior of cells in multicellular systems, starting with how cells become attached to each other and concluding with chapters on pathogens and infection and on the innate and adaptive immune systems.Acknowledgments xxi Berkeley), William Wickner (Dartmouth College), Carrie Wilczewski (Loyola University Chicago), Michael Wilcox (deceased), Lewis T.

In some instances, an added letter in the gene name is traditionally used to distinguish between genes that are related by function or evolution; for those genes, we put that letter in uppercase if it is usual to do so (LacZ, RecA, HoxA4).

These monomers, chemical compounds known as nucleotides, have nicknames drawn from a four-letter alphabet—A, T, C, G—and they are strung together in a long linear sequence that encodes the hereditary information, just as the sequence of 1’s and 0’s encodes the information in a computer file.
