Molecular Biology of the Cell

Product Information

Now in it’s 6th edition, Molecular Biology of the Cell(MBoC), a classic university biology textbook, and it’s lighter companion book, Essential Cell Biology (in its 4th edition), continue to offer students a “new and invigorating outlook on what cells are and what they do.”

The Extracellular Matrix May Influence Connective-Tissue Cell Differentiation by Affecting Cell Shape and Attachment After Secretion, Fibrillar Procollagen Molecules Are Cleaved to Collagen Molecules, Which Assemble into Fibrils A Large Drop in Redox Potential Across Each of the Three Respiratory Enzyme Complexes Provides the Energy for H + Pumping

Excerpt

Insulators Are DNA Sequences That Prevent Eucaryotic Gene Regulatory Proteins from Influencing Distant Genes Current Therapies Exploit the Loss of Cell-Cycle Control and the Genetic Instability of Cancer Cells The Positioning of Nucleosomes on DNA Is Determined by Both DNA Flexibility and Other DNA-bound Proteins Regulatory Proteins Control the Activity of GTP-Binding Proteins by Determining Whether GTP or GDP Is Bound

Conditional and Induced Somatic Mutations Make it Possible to Analyze Gene Functions Late inDevelopment Part V follows the behaviour of cells in multicellular systems, starting with the development of multicellular organisms and concluding with chapters on pathogens and infection and on the innate and adaptive immuneEgg-Polarity, Gap, and Pair-Rule Genes Create a Transient Pattern That Is Remembered by Other Genes Abstract: As the amount of information in biology expands dramatically, it becomes increasingly important for textbooks to distill the vast amount of scientific knowledge into concise principles and enduring concepts. As with previous editions, Molecular Biology of the Cell, Sixth Edition accomplishes this goal with clear writing and beautiful illustrations. The Sixth Edition has been extensively revised and updated with the latest research in the field of cell biology, and it provides an exceptional framework for teaching and learning Ca 2+/Calmodulin-dependent Protein Kinases (CaM-Kinases) Mediate Many of the Actions of Ca 2+ in Animal Cells In Multicellular Animals and Most Plants, the Diploid Phase Is Complex and Long, the Haploid Simple and Fleeting
