About this title

Synopsis

This intermediate level introduction to cell biology text is accessible to students who have had introductory chemistry and biology and are taking organic chemistry concurrently. It integrates a variety of disciplines and develops an understanding of experimental evidence. Features a balanced treatment of biochemical, biophysical, genetic, cytological, and cell physiological components of modern molecular and cell biology. Includes a strong emphasis on experimental logic explains how a fact was discovered and what remains to be understood. Emphasizes the fundamental chemistry of cell processes to provide basic understanding and demonstrate the cross-disciplinary nature of biology. (Chapters 3-5). In this new edition, 80% of the text has been rewritten to include extensive new coverage of recombinant DNA technology, expanded treatment of cellular control mechanisms, thorough coverage of genetics, from classical to modern mechanical genetics and new material on extra-cellular matrix, extended to cellular environment.
