Introduction to Molecular Biology, Genomics and Proteomics for - Biomedical Engineer

Informationen zum Autor Northrop! Robert B.; Connor! Anne N. Klappentext Engineers and scientists in the 21st century often find themselves working on the interdisciplinary interface between living and inanimate systems. This type of interface! however! requires not only a broad range of knowledge but also an in-depth understanding of how specialized organic molecules in living organisms interact and react. Introduction to Molecular Biology! Genomics! and Proteomics for Engineers illustrates the complex biochemistry of life and how it may be modeled and manipulated in genomic-based medicine and genetic engineering. This book addresses such controversial topics as stem cell research! cloning! parthenogenesis! chimeras! and ethical issues in molecular biology. Zusammenfassung Suitable for engineers and scientists who have not studied molecular biology, genomics, and proteomics, and who are working with living systems, this title describes the complex biochemical relations that permit life to exist, highlighting the specialized organic molecules in living organism, and how they interact and react.
