Drawing together the latest developments in our understanding of the ultrastructure and function of cell components, this concise and up-to-date text is a valuable addition to the Macmillan Molecular Biology Series. Like other books in the Series it is aimed at undergraduate students following second and third year courses in biochemistry and cell biology. Each major cell organelle is the subject of one complete chapter, which ends with self-study questions to focus the reader on central concepts and principles. There is also a useful list of review papers to prompt further reading. Throughout the book there are numerous electron micrographs and line illustrations.
The compartmentation of genetic information is a fundamental feature of the eukaryotic cell.
The first volume of the series, on "The Stability of the Differentiated State" received many favorable reviews from the scientific community.
This volume contains the Proceedings of FEBS Advanced Course No. 88-02 held in Bari, Italy on the topic "Organelles of Eukaryotic Cells: Molecular Structure and Interactions.
A synthesis of the diverse facts of modern cytology & cell biology.
This book begins by placing the study of organelle biogenesis in a historical perspective by describing past scientific strategies, theories, and findings and relating these foundations to current investigations.
This book sheds light on how dysregulated organelle functions contribute to the pathology and progression of human diseases.
Plant Cells and Their Organelles provides a comprehensive overview of the structure and function of plant organelles. The text focuses on subcellular organelles while also providing relevant background on plant cells, tissues and organs.
This book is organized into 13 chapters and begins with an overview of the enzymology of plant cell organelles and the localization of enzymes using cytochemical techniques.
The purpose of this volume is to provide a synopsis of present knowledge of the structure, organisation, and function of cellular organelles with an emphasis on the examination of important but unsolved problems, and the directions in which ...
THIS BOOK HAS BEEN WRITTEN BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR AN up-to-date compact book on cell organelles that transmits the excitement and challenge of modern subcellular biology.
