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 GBP 66.99 1
Bacterial Genetics and Genomics Our understanding of bacterial genetics has progressed as the genomics field has advanced. Genetics and genomics complement and influence each other; they are inseparable. Under the novel insights from genetics and genomics once-believed borders in biology start to fade: biological knowledge of the bacterial world is being viewed under a new light and concepts are being redefined. Species are difficult to delimit and relationships within and between groups of bacteria – the whole concept of a tree of life – is hotly debated when dealing with bacteria. The DNA within bacterial cells contains a variety of features and signals that influence the diversity of the microbial world. This text assumes readers have some knowledge of genetics and microbiology but acknowledges that it can be varied. Therefore the book includes all of the information that readers need to know in order to understand the more advanced material in the book. | Bacterial Genetics and Genomics GBP 66.99 1
Fields Forces and Flows in Biological Systems Fields Forces and Flows in Biological Systems describes the fundamental driving forces for mass transport electric current and fluid flow as they apply to the biology and biophysics of molecules cells tissues and organs. Basic mathematical and engineering tools are presented in the context of biology and physiology. The chapters are structured in a framework that moves across length scales from molecules to membranes to tissues. Examples throughout the text deal with applications involving specific biological tissues cells and macromolecules. In addition a variety of applications focus on sensors actuators diagnostics and microphysical measurement devices (e. g. bioMEMs/NEMs microfluidic devices) in which transport and electrokinetic interactions are critical. This textbook is written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in biological and biomedical engineering and will be a valuable resource for interdisciplinary researchers including biophysicists physical chemists materials scientists and chemical electrical and mechanical engineers seeking a common language on the subject.
