A principios del siglo XXI existe el peligro de que los agentes tóxicos interactúen con los ácidos nucleicos y produzcan alteraciones en el material genético.
Es sorprendente que una estructura tan diminuta, de dimensiones ultramicroscópicas y con una organización estructural aparentemente sencilla, pueda desempeñar funciones tan decisivas e importantes para la vida de las células.
Written by experts in their respective fields, this book reviews the expanding knowledge concerning the mechanisms regulating male reproduction at the molecular and cellular levels.
Wenn man Zellen als eine Art Stadt betrachtet, dann sind die Proteine darin so etwas wie die Arbeitskräfte in der essenziellen Infrastruktur: Ohne funktionierende Müllabfuhr, ÖPNV oder Trinkwasserversorgung bricht das System schnell zusammen.
El objetivo de la presente obra es facilitar el reconocimiento de los organismos vivos de las aguas dulces, tanto en el laboratorio como en la propia naturaleza.
This book is designed to be a central text for young graduate students interested in mass spectrometry as it relates to the study of protein structure and function as well as proteomics.
How genes are not the only basis of heredity-and what this means for evolution, human life, and diseaseFor much of the twentieth century it was assumed that genes alone mediate the transmission of biological information across generations and provide the raw material for natural selection.
Complex and crucially important, the senses collect the massive amount of information we need to navigate daily life, and serve as a filter between our inner selves and the larger world.
Advances in Immunology, a long established and highly respected publication, presents current developments as well as comprehensive reviews in immunology.
In Future Directions in Biocatalysis the important topics within biocatalysis and enzymatic catalysis for organic synthesis are described for both experts and non-experts.
In this book, the progress during the last ten years is reviewed and future plans outlined to realize and establish the concept of design in the biological sciences.
Molecular Endocrinology, Third Edition summarizes the area and provides an in-depth discussion of the molecular aspects of hormone action, including hormone-receptor interactions, second messenger generation, gene induction, and post-transcriptional control.
Progression of chronic diseases in general and chronic kidney disease in particular has been traditionally viewed in the light of various contributors to development of glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial scarring culminating in renal fibrosis.
Calmodulin and Signal Transduction focuses on emerging themes in the molecular mechanisms of calcium signal transduction through calmodulin-regulated pathways.
Integrins: Molecular and Biological Responses to the Extracellular Matrix will help basic, applied, and clinical researchers keep up with the explosion of literature on the integrin family of proteins.
This manual is an indispensable tool for introducing advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students to the techniques of recombinant DNA technology, or gene cloning and expression.
The Dictionary of Cell and Molecular Biology, Fifth Edition, provides definitions for thousands of terms used in the study of cell and molecular biology.
Never before has it been so critical for lab workers to possess the proper tools and methodologies necessary to determine the structure, function, and expression of the corresponding proteins encoded in the genome.
Far more than a comprehensive treatise on initial-rate and fast-reaction kinetics, this one-of-a-kind desk reference places enzyme science in the fuller context of the organic, inorganic, and physical chemical processes occurring within enzyme active sites.
