Molecular Biology of the Cell 5E

Product Information

Highly Condensed Chromatin Replicates Late, While Genes in Less Condensed Chromatin Tend to Replicate Early A comparison of the cell cycles of fission yeasts and budding yeasts. (A) The fission yeast has a typical eucaryotic cell cycle with G 1, S, G 2, and M phases. In contrast with what happens in higher eucaryotic cells, however, the nuclear envelope of the (more...) Anchoring Junctions Formed by Integrins Bind Cells to the Extracellular Matrix: Focal Adhesions and Hemidesmosomes Smell and Vision Depend on G-Protein-linked Receptors That Regulate Cyclic-Nucleotide-gated Ion Channels Most Membrane-enclosed Organelles Cannot Be Constructed From Scratch: They Require Information in the Organelle Itself

How photosynthesis occurs – collection of the infalling light inside the chloroplast, conversion of the photon’s energy into a resonant state of the chlorophyll and its transfer from the antenna complex to the reaction center, where a weak electron donor is promoted to a strong one. The Topological Relationships of Membrane-enclosed Organelles Can Be Interpreted in Terms of Their Evolutionary Origins Lateral Inhibition and Asymmetric Division Combine to Regulate Genesis of Neurons Throughout the BodyThere Are Multiple Homologs of the RecA Protein in Eucaryotes, Each Specialized for a Specific Function Some G Proteins Activate the Inositol Phospholipid Signaling Pathway by Activating Phospholipase C-β Abstract: As the amount of information in biology expands dramatically, it becomes increasingly important for textbooks to distill the vast amount of scientific knowledge into concise principles and enduring concepts. As with previous editions, Molecular Biology of the Cell, Sixth Edition accomplishes this goal with clear writing and beautiful illustrations. The Sixth Edition has been extensively revised and updated with the latest research in the field of cell biology, and it provides an exceptional framework for teaching and learning

The Modular Nature of Regulatory DNA Allows Genes to Have Multiple Independently Controlled Functions The original idea of a book such as MBoC belonged exclusively to James Watson. In the early 1970s, he wisely spotted a latent hurdle for his long-time vision of transforming the whole biology field into a molecular science. He recognized that the knowledge of cell biology at the time was almost entirely based on light and electron microscopy investigations, and for students this hardly integrated any new molecular biology. Therefore, Watson believed in the need for a new textbook that would combine these two fields. As Martin Raff recalls, for Watson producing MBoC would be a “very important way of modernising the way cell biology was taught and perhaps even how cell biology was done.” Egg-Polarity, Gap, and Pair-Rule Genes Create a Transient Pattern That Is Remembered by Other Genes
