Molecular Biology of Assemblies and Machines
presents a comprehensive narrative describing the structures of
macromolecular complexes and how they assemble and interact. Richly
illustrated, it is written for advanced undergraduates, graduate
students, and researchers in biochemistry, structural biology, molecular
biology, biophysics, cell biology, and microbiology, and will also
appeal to those in chemistry, immunology, and medicine.
Essentially
all major biological activities are performed by assemblies of
macromolecules (proteins, RNA, and DNA) acting in concert. These
assemblies are dynamic and many are endowed with machine-like
properties. This unique book explores the molecular mechanisms employed
at the critical level between individual macromolecules and cells and
organelles.
