Molecular Cell Biology

Molecular Cell Biology stands out from its peers in this course in that it provides a clear introduction to the techniques and experiments of scientists past and present, not just an “encyclopedia” of information. This experimental emphasis, together with a solid pedagogical framework in the chapters, provides the clearest, most cutting-edge text available. Emphasizing The Experimental Basis Of Current Understandings In Molecular Biology, The Text Introduces Experimental Methodologies And Concepts. Thirteen Chapters Cover Such Topics As Biomembranes And Cell Architecture, Cell Integration In Tissues, Cell Transport Mechanisms, Cellular Energetics, Molecular Genetic Techniques, Transcriptional Control Of Gene Expression, And Signaling At The Cell Surface. Chemical And Molecular Foundations. Life Begins With Cells ; Chemical Foundations ; Protein Structure And Function ; Basic Molecular Genetic Mechanisms -- Cell Organization And Biochemistry. Biomembranes And Cell Architecture ; Integrating Cells Into Tissues ; Transport Of Ions And Small Molecules Across Cell Membranes ; Cellular Energetics -- Genetics And Molecular Biology. Molecular Genetic Techniques And Genomics ; Molecular Structure Of Genes And Chromosomes ; Transcriptional Control Of Gene Expression ; Post-transcriptional Gene Control And Nuclear Transport -- Cell Signaling. Signaling At The Cell Surface ; Signaling Pathways That Control Gene Activity ; Integration Of Signals And Gene Controls -- Membrane Trafficking. Moving Proteins Into Membranes And Organelles ; Vesicular Traffic, Secretion, And Endocytosis ; Metabolism And Movement Of Lipids -- Cytoskeleton. Microfilaments And Intermediate Filaments ; Microtubules -- Cell-cycle And Cell-growth Control. Regulating The Eukaryotic Cell Cycle ; Cell Birth, Lineage, And Death ; Cancer. Harvey Lodish ... [et Al.]. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. The sixth edition provides an authoritative and comprehensive vision of molecular biology today. It presents developments in cell birth, lineage and death, expanded coverage of signaling systems and of metabolism and movement of lipids
