Human Biology: Personal, Environmental, and Social Concerns
The authors present the principles of human biology and apply them to students’ lives, helping them realize the benefits of understanding the material. Judy Goodenough has taught human biology for over fifteen years and, along with her co-authors, has written a text with three basic goals: to provide information that will help students understand their everyday experiences with their bodies and the world around them, to help students understand how their actions affect their quality of life (in terms of their personal health, society and the welfare of the planet), and to help students develop reasoning skills they can further apply to life. An accompanying Web site provides a full range of instructor’s support materials to help in teaching the course.
Plasma Lipoproteins, Part C: Quantitation
This book covers the significant new developments that have expanded the scope of enzyme chemistry. At the most fundamental level, Nature’s use of nucleic acids as enzymes became evident as did the ability of enzyme chemists to design catalytic antibodies as synthetic enzymes.
Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Genetics, Part B
The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for forty years, Methods in Enzymology is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerlyawaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. More than 260 volumes have been published (all of them still in print) and much of the material is relevant even today–truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences. Key Features * This volume covers methodology used in * Mitochondrial gene expression * Mitochondrial genetics and gene manipulation * Mitochondrial diseases and aging
Biology: A Guide to the Natural World
Ideal for those with a general interest in biology, this book easily draws readers into the material with lots of analogies and stories that help them readily relate biological concepts to others they are already familiar with, and by using a conversational tone that allows them to concentrate on the concepts, rather than struggling with scientific jargon.
