MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF GENOMES AND PROTEOMES

Molecular Biology: Structure and Dynamics of Genomes and Proteomes illustrates the essential principles behind the transmission and expression of genetic information at the level of DNA, RNA, and proteins.
This textbook emphasizes the experimental basis of discovery and the most recent advances in the field while presenting a structural, mechanistic understanding of molecular biology that is rigorous, yet concise. The text is written for advanced undergraduate or graduate-level courses in molecular biology.

Features
• Vivid illustrations convey step-by-step mechanisms and explain fundamental principles. The text and figures describe results from new techniques that allow insight into processes at the molecular level both in vitro and in vivo.
• Chapter boxes present historic accounts, extended descriptions of methods, additional cell biology context, and medically-relevant material.
• The flexible presentation of both essential and advanced material ensures the book can meet the needs of both upper-level undergraduate and early graduate-level audiences.
• Each chapter ends with a list of key concepts and references for further reading.
