Protein Actions Principles and Modeling

Protein Actions Principles and Modeling

Protein Actions: Principles and Modeling is aimed at graduates advanced undergraduates and any professional who seeks an introduction to the biological chemical and physical properties of proteins. Broadly accessible to biophysicists and biochemists it will be particularly useful to student and professional structural biologists and molecular biophysicists bioinformaticians and computational biologists biological chemists (particularly drug designers) and molecular bioengineers. The book begins by introducing the basic principles of protein structure and function. Some readers will be familiar with aspects of this but the authors build up a more quantitative approach than their competitors. Emphasizing concepts and theory rather than experimental techniques the book shows how proteins can be analyzed using the disciplines of elementary statistical mechanics energetics and kinetics. These chapters illuminate how proteins attain biologically active states and the properties of those states. The book ends with a synopsis the roles of computational biology and bioinformatics in protein science. | Protein Actions Principles and Modeling

Cellular Signal Processing An Introduction to the Molecular Mechanisms of Signal Transduction

Cellular Signal Processing An Introduction to the Molecular Mechanisms of Signal Transduction

Cellular Signal Processing offers a unifying view of cell signaling based on the concept that protein interactions act as sophisticated data processing networks that govern intracellular and extracellular communication. It is intended for use in signal transduction courses for undergraduate and graduate students working in biology biochemistry bioinformatics and pharmacology as well as medical students. The text is organized by three key topics central to signal transduction: the protein network its energy supply and its evolution. It covers all important aspects of cell signaling ranging from prokaryotic signal transduction to neuronal signaling and also highlights the clinical aspects of cell signaling in health and disease. This new edition includes expanded coverage of prokaryotes as well as content on new developments in systems biology epigenetics redox signaling and small non-coding RNA signaling. | Cellular Signal Processing An Introduction to the Molecular Mechanisms of Signal Transduction

Plant Ecology and Conservation

Plant Ecology and Conservation

Plant Ecology & Conservation is an introduction to the world of plant ecology. It includes the main areas of current research including ideas about plant populations nutrition and plant community ecology and has a particular emphasis on the interactions of plants with animals fungi and microorganisms whose important is being increasingly demonstrated. With the world’s environmental problems having such a high profile the book focusses on the human impact on the world’s plant species. Conservation of the terrestrial world starts with plants as they form the basis of all ecosystems on land. We can only understand how best to conserve the world’s biodiversity with an understanding of the central role of plant ecology. This theme runs throughout with numerous examples of the disruption of ecosystems by human activity emphasising the connection between plant ecology and conservation. Key Features: Boxes present case studies important statistics and interesting asides Full-colour photos depict key species and habitats and superb line drawings illustrate many concepts Important data are presented in Tables and Figures throughout Each chapter has Key Concepts and review questions to test a reader’s grasp of the content Key References and Further Reading are given for each chapter to point the reader towards the most important and influential literature Jargon is kept to a minimum and a full Glossary of all technical terms is presented The book is aimed primarily at undergraduate and graduate students in any aspect of ecology or plant science. It should also appeal to anyone interested in how plants function and are concerned about what is needed for the conservation of the world’s ecosystems.

Cell Boundaries How Membranes and Their Proteins Work

Cell Boundaries How Membranes and Their Proteins Work

The central themes of Cell Boundaries concern the structural and organizational principles underlying cell membranes and how these principles enable function. By building a biological and biophysical foundation for understanding the organization of lipids in bilayers and the folding assembly stability and function of membrane proteins the book aims to broaden the knowledge of bioscience students to include the basic physics and physical chemistry that inform us about membranes. In doing so it is hoped that physics students will find familiar territory that will lead them to an interest in biology. Our progress toward understanding membranes and membrane proteins depends strongly upon the concerted use of both biology and physics. It is important for students to know not only what we know but how we have come to know it so Cell Boundaries endeavours to bring out the history behind the central discoveries especially in the early chapters where the foundation is laid for later chapters. Science is far more interesting if as students we can appreciate and share in the adventures—and misadventures—of discovering new scientific knowledge. Cell Boundaries was written with advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the biological and physical sciences in mind though this textbook will likely have appeal to researchers and other academics as well. Highlights the history of important central discoveries Early chapters lay the foundation for later chapters to build on so knowledge is amassed High-quality line diagrams illustrate key concepts and illuminate molecular mechanisms Box features and spreads expand on topics in main text including histories of discoveries special techniques and applications | Cell Boundaries How Membranes and Their Proteins Work
