The book is designed to demonstrate biology concepts and to promote scientific literacy. This is an adaptation of Concepts of Biology by OpenStax. You can access the textbook as pdf for free at openstax.org.
How many mRNAs are in a cell? How genetically similar are two random people? What is faster, transcription or translation?Cell Biology by the Numbers explores these questions and dozens of others provid
"This excellent book should be present in all central libraries and in those of plant biology institutions. The book is recommended to advanced students and researchers".Journal of Plant Physiology, 1999
At the very least, you would think that if I was going to write a textbook, I should write one in an area that really needs one instead of a subject that already has multiple excellent and definitive books. So, why write this book, then?
The Principles of Biology sequence (BI 211, 212 and 213) introduces biology as a scientific discipline for students planning to major in biology and other science disciplines.
An essential resource for biochemists, biophysicists and chemical biologists, providing a complete understanding of the molecular machines of bioenergetics.
But traditional presentations of this material are often difficult to penetrate. This volume brings "down to earth" some of the most intimidating but important theories of molecular biophysics.
The book is unique in presenting a comparative treatment of respiratory and photosynthetic energy transduction, and in using protein sequence data coupled with physical concepts to discuss the mechanisms of energy transducing proteins.
