Description
Offering you more of what you need, less of what you don't! . Written by leading personalities in the field . Focusing on the structure and function of the cell, this radically new approach to cell biology offers a comprehensive, full-color look at the subject and the latest developments in the field. It emphasises specific macromolecular interactions and their relation to cellular structure and function, and covers such areas as chemical building blocks, assembly, major organelles and components of the cell, cell cycle, cellular regulation, gene expression, viruses, energy interconversions, and more.
