Translational Control in Health and Disease

Nucleic acids are the fundamental building blocks of DNA and RNA and are found in virtually every living cell. Molecular biology is a branch of science that studies physicochemical properties of molecules in a cell, including nucleic acids, proteins, and enzymes. This guide discusses fresh discoveries, approaches, and ideas in molecular biology.

Commentaire

PRAISE FOR THE SERIES
"Full of interest not only for the molecular biologist-for whom the numerous references will be invaluable-but will also appeal to a much wider circle of biologists, and in fact to all those who are concerned with the living cell."
-- British Medical Journal
