Introduction to Molecular Biology
Author: Oksana Ableitner
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3658339209
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 93
Book Description
Oksana Ableitner offers a practical, clearly structured and easy to understand introduction to complicated definitions and structures in chemistry and molecular biology for work in the molecular biology laboratory. The author is guided by her experience in working with students and uses many illustrations to visualize abstract knowledge. An understanding of this matter is an essential basis for successful work with DNA and RNA in order to ensure high quality results. For responsible activities in application - such as genetic research or the determination of various pathogens - it is essential to be confident in dealing with the basics of these sensitive, fast and specific analytical methods. This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 2nd edition essentials, Einführung in die Molekularbiologie by Oksana Ableitner, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2018. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the serviceDeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Basics of Medical Molecular Biology
Author: Tarek H. El-Metwally
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781616689384
Category : DNA.
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Molecular biology is a merger between biochemistry and genetics that undertakes the study of the molecular fundamentals of metabolism of the genetic material (i.e.: replication, the transcription and translation and its manipulation for the benefit of life). Molecular biology is the molecular three-dimensional structural studying approach of biology as reflected on genesis and function to search below the large-scale manifestations of classical biology. The recent merge of molecular biology and computer science developed bioinformatics and computational biology. The study of gene structure and function, i.e., molecular genetics, is amongst the most prominent sub-field of molecular biology. This book highlights the rationale behind most of the related diseases afflicting the nuclear and the mitochondrial genetic systems for specific prevention and/or intervention.
