Molecular Biology: Structure and Dynamics of Genomes and Proteomes
second edition illustrates the essential principles behind the
transmission and expression of genetic information at the level of DNA,
RNA, and proteins. Emphasis is on the experimental basis of discovery
and the most recent advances in the field while presenting a rigorous,
yet still concise, summary of the structural mechanisms of molecular
biology. Topics new to this edition include the CRISPR-Cas gene editing
system, Coronaviruses - structure, genome, vaccine and drug development,
and newly recognized mechanisms for transcription termination. The text
is written for advanced undergraduate or graduate-level courses in
molecular biology.
