Molecular Biology of the Cell

Product Information

As indicated, although their starting cells look superficially similar, the egg of a sea urchin gives rise to a sea urchin (A and B), the egg of a mouse gives rise to a mouse (C and D), and the egg of the seaweed Fucus gives rise to a Fucus seaweed (E and F).

The backbone of an RNA molecule is formed by a slightly different sugar from that in DNA—ribose instead of deoxyribose; in addition, one of the four bases is slightly different—uracil (U) replaces thymine (T).The digital format with embedded animations and dynamic question types makes the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork easier to assign than ever before-for both in-person and online classes. Molecular Biology of the Cell is widely used in introductory courses at the university level, being considered as a reference in many libraries and laboratories around the world. The corresponding protein, where it is named after the gene, will be written in the same way, but in roman rather than italic letters: Bazooka, Cdc2, Dishevelled, Egl1. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union.

Keith Roberts received his PhD from the University of Cambridge and was deputy director of the John Innes Centre, Norwich. Asmus (Centre College), Zoë Burke (University of Bath, United Kingdom), John Couchman (University of Copenhagen, Denmark), Elizabeth Good (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), Tony J. guide the synthesis of proteins, which are polymers made of amino acid subunits (discussed shortly). Dynamic, experienced instructors have created primary literature suggestions, active learning activities, lecture PowerPoint files, descriptions of all of the animations and videos, and much more.

The new strand therefore has a nucleotide sequence complementary to that of the old strand and a backbone with opposite directionality: thus, GTAA. In some instances, an added letter in the gene name is traditionally used to distinguish between genes that are related by function or evolution; for those genes, we put that letter in uppercase if it is usual to do so (LacZ, RecA, HoxA4). Deserving special credit are the following five outstanding scientists who accepted the task of re-drafting chapters in their areas of expertise: Chapters 12 and 13, Ramanujan Hegde (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Cambridge University, United Kingdom); Chapter 14, Jared Rutter (University of Utah); Chapter 21, David Bilder (University of California, Berkeley); Chapter 22, Yukiko Yamashita (Whitehead Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology); Chapter 23, Matthew Welch (University of California, Berkeley).
