Essential cell biology / Bruce Alberts [and seven others].

Contributor(s): Bray, Dennis, author | Hopkin, Karen, author | Johnson, Alexander, author | Lewis, Julian, author | Raff, Martin, author | Roberts, Keith, author | Walter, Peter, authorMaterial type: TextTextPublisher: New York, New York : Garland Science, c2014Edition: Fourth editionDescription: xxiii, 726 pages, 112 variously numbered pages : illustrations [chiefly color] ; 28 cmISBN: 9780815344551 (softcover)Subject(s): Cytology | Molecular biology | Biochemistry | Cell Biology | Cell Physiological Phenomena | CytogeneticsLOC classification: CIR QH 581.2 | E78 2014
Contents:
Cells: the fundamental units of life -- Chemical components of cells -- Energy, catalysis, and biosynthesis -- Protein structure and function -- DNA and chromosomes -- DNA replication, repair, and recombination -- From DNA to protein: how cells read the genome -- Control of gene expression -- How genes and genomes evolve -- Modern recombinant DNA technology -- Membrane structure -- Transport across cell membranes -- How cells obtain energy from food -- Energy generation in mitochondria and chloroplasts -- Intracellular compartments and protein transport -- Cell signaling -- Cytoskeleton -- The cell-division cycle -- Sexual reproduction and the power of genetics -- Cell communities: tissues, stem cells, and cancer
Summary: This text provides a readily accessible introduction to the central concepts of cell biology, and its lively, clear writing and exceptional illustrations make it the ideal textbook for a first course in both cell and molecular biology. The text and figures are easy-to-follow, accurate, clear, and engaging for the introductory student. Molecular detail has been kept to a minimum in order to provide the reader with a cohesive conceptual framework for the basic science that underlies our current understanding of all of biology, including the biomedical sciences. This edition has been thoroughly revised, and covers the latest developments in this fast-moving field, yet retains the academic level and length of the previous edition
