Description

Provides key-facts and concepts in the field of molecular cell biology. The book is divided into four parts, the first part introduces the basic biochemical and molecular concepts and describes the experimental techniques used throughout modern biology. The second focuses on the central activities of the gene: gene expression, gene regulation, and replication. The third offers current and comprehensive coverage of cell structure and biochemical action. The final part explores the frontiers of research in cancer biology, immunology and cell evolution.

Table of Contents

Introduction: The History of Molecular Cell Biology MOLECULES, CELLS, PROTEINS, AND EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES: A PRIMER. Chemical Foundations. Molecules in Cells. Synthesis of Proteins and Nucleic Acids. The Study of Cell Organization and Subcellular Structure. Growing and Manipulating Cells and Viruses. Manipulating Macromolecules. GENE EXPRESSION, STRUCTURE, AND REPLICATION. RNA Synthesis and Gene Control in Prokaryotes. RNA Synthesis and Processing in Eukaryotes. The Structure of Eukaryotic Chromosomes. Eukaryotic Chromosomes and Genes: Molecular Anatomy. Gene Control and the Molecular Genetics of Development in the Eukaryotes. DNA Replication, Repair, and Recombination. CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION. The Plasma Membrane. Transport Across Cell Membranes. Energy Conversion: The Formation of ATTI in Mitochondria and Bacteria. Photosynthesis. Plasma-membrane, Secretory, and Lysosome. Organelle Biogenesis: The Nudeus, Chloroplast, and Mitochondrion. Cell-to-Cell Signalling: Hormones and Receptors. Nerve Cells and the Electric Properties of Cell Membranes. Microtubules and Cellular Movements. Actin, Myosin, and Intermediate Filaments: Cell Movements and Cell Shapes. Multicellularity: Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Interactions.
