Beschreibung
This textbook provides an integrated physical and biochemical foundation for undergraduate students majoring in biology or health sciences. It is particularly suitable for students planning to enter the pharmaceutical industry. This new generation of molecular biologists and biochemists will harness the tools and insights of physics and chemistry to exploit the emergence of genomics and systems-level information in biology, and will shape the future of medicine.

Über den Autor
John Kuriyan is Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology and of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. He began his career at Rockefeller University, New York and has been an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute since 1990. His laboratory uses x-ray crystallography to determine the three-dimensional structures of proteins involved in signaling and replication, as well as biochemical, biophysical, and computational analyses to elucidate mechanisms. Kuriyan was elected to the US National Academy of Sciences in 2001.
Zusammenfassung
BIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS EXPLAINED AT THE LEVEL OF MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
The central theme of the text is that the ways in which proteins, DNA, and RNA work together in a cell are connected intimately to the structures of these biological macromolecules. The structures, in turn, depend on interactions between the atoms in these molecules and on the interplay between energy and entropy. This results in the remarkable ability of biological systems to self-assemble and control their own replication.
CLEAR, CONSISTENT PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES DRIVE UNDERSTANDING
A quantitative treatment of energy and the statistical basis of entropy is central to our approach. Detailed, clear derivations of equations and ample end-of-chapter practice problems ensure that even students without a physical chemistry background will develop mastery of important concepts.
MODULAR AND APPLIED PRESENTATION OF CONCEPTS
Rather than being encyclopedic, the text has been written and organised to be flexible so that it easily fits the course goals of many instructors. Chapters are filled with interesting examples that engage students as they learn important concepts.
