Molecular Biology of the Cell

Product Information

A selection of problems, written by John Wilson and Tim Hunt, appears in the text at the end of each chapter. New to this edition are problems for the last four chapters on multicellular organisms. The complete solutions to all of these problems can be found in Molecular Biology of the Cell, Sixth Edition: The Problems Book which if you want then comment below will upload. Part III presents the principles of the main experimental methods for investigating and analysing cells; here, a new section entitled “Mathematical Analysis of Cell Functions” in Chapter 8 provides an extra dimension in our understanding of cell regulation and function.

The Modular Nature of Regulatory DNA Allows Genes to Have Multiple Independently Controlled Functions Long-term Potentiation (LTP) in the Mammalian Hippocampus Depends on Ca 2+ Entry Through NMDA-Receptor Channels Insulators Are DNA Sequences That Prevent Eucaryotic Gene Regulatory Proteins from Influencing Distant Genes Lateral Inhibition and Asymmetric Division Combine to Regulate Genesis of Neurons Throughout the Body The Photosynthetic Electron-transport Chains of Cyanobacteria Produced Atmospheric Oxygen and Permitted New Life-Forms

The RecA Protein and its Homologs Enable a DNA Single Strand to Pair with a Homologous Region of DNA Double Helix The Evolution of the Globin Gene Family Shows How DNA Duplications Contribute to the Evolution of Organisms A Signal-Recognition Particle (SRP) Directs ER Signal Sequences to a Specific Receptor in the Rough ER Membrane The Topological Relationships of Membrane-enclosed Organelles Can Be Interpreted in Terms of Their Evolutionary Origins Microsurgery and Genetics Reveal the Logic of Developmental Control; Gene Cloning and Sequencing Reveal Its Molecular Mechanisms

The Three Largest Classes of Cell-Surface Receptor Proteins Are Ion-Channel-linked, G-Protein-linked, and Enzyme-linked Receptors Three Molecules of ATP and Two Molecules of NADPH Are Consumed for Each CO 2 Molecule That Is Fixed

Studies of Developing Embryos and Transgenic Mice Help to Uncover the Function of Cancer-Critical Genes
