Combining insights from observation, experimentation, and theory, The Origin, Expansion, and Demise of Plant Species offers a broad overview of species as dynamic entities that …
Aging has long since been ascribed to the gradual accumulation of DNA mutations in the genome of somatic cells. However, it is only recently that the necessary sophisticated …
Continued advances in biotechnology have driven forward the harnessing of micro-organisms and plants to help protect our fragile environment from the impact of human activity in …
Protein engineering is the rational modification or redesign of proteins using genetic engineering. Thus, it is now possible to modify enzyme specificities, remodel antibodies, and …
Fermentation: A Practical Approach is a collection of methods and techniques covering the setting up and use of fermentation units in academic research and industrial laboratories. …
Just as the study of physiology requires an understanding of biochemistry, so the study of the mechanical properties and design of organisms requires a grounding in engineering and …
DNA Viruses: A Practical Approach groups together the major experimental methods currently employed to study DNA viruses, from the fundamentals of virus culture to novel techniques …
Proteins are an integral part of molecular and cellular structure and function and are probably the most purified type of biological molecule. In order to elucidate the structure …
The most common aim of a biosensor is to produce a signal proportional in strength or frequency to the concentration of a chemical or biochemical to which the biological element …
Directed mutagenesis has emerged as an essential tool in both genetic and protein engineering by facilitating both molecular analysis and the modification of the structural and …
