In a multitude of ways, science affects the life of almost every person on earth. From medicine and nutrition to communication and transportation, the products of scientific research have changed human life. These changes have mostly taken place in the last two centuries, so rapidly that the average person is unable to keep informed. A consequence of this "information gap" has been the increasing suspicion of science and scientists. The lack of true understanding of science, especially of "fundamental" research, motivates this effort to narrow this gap by explaining scientific endeavor and the data-driven worldviews of scientists. Key Features Fills an existing void in the understanding of science among the general population Is written in a nontechnical language to facilitate understanding Covers a wide range of science-related subjects: The value of "basic research" How scientists work by sharing results and ideas How science is funded by governments and private entities Addresses the possible dangers of research and how society deals with such risks Expresses the viewpoint of an author with extensive experience working in laboratories all over the world

The Evolution of Molecular Biology

The Search for the Secrets of Life

By: Kensal Van Holde,Jordanka Zlatanova

The Evolution of Molecular Biology: The Search for the Secrets of Life provides the historical knowledge behind techniques founded in molecular biology, also presenting an appreciation of how, and by whom, these discoveries were made. It deals with the evolution of intellectual concepts in the context of active research in an approachable language that accommodates readers from a variety of backgrounds. Each chapter contains a prologue and epilogue to create continuity and provide a complete framework of molecular biology. This foundational work also functions as a historical and conceptual supplement to many related courses in biochemistry, biology, chemistry, genetics and history of science. In addition, the book demonstrates how the roots of discovery and advances–and an individual's own research–have grown out of the history of the field, presenting a more complete understanding and context for scientific discovery. - Expands on the development of molecular biology from the convergence of two independent disciplines, biochemistry and genetics - Discusses the value of molecular biology in a variety of applications - Includes research ethics and the societal implications of research - Emphasizes the human aspects of research and the consequences of such advances to society

Molecular Biology

Structure and Dynamics of Genomes and Proteomes

By: Jordanka Zlatanova

Molecular Biology: Structure and Dynamics of Genomes and Proteomes second edition illustrates the essential principles behind the transmission and expression of genetic information at the level of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Emphasis is on the experimental basis of discovery and the most recent advances in the field while presenting a rigorous, yet still concise, summary of the structural mechanisms of molecular biology. Topics new to this edition include the CRISPR-Cas gene editing system, Coronaviruses – structure, genome, vaccine and drug development, and newly recognized mechanisms for transcription termination. The text is written for advanced undergraduate or graduate-level courses in molecular biology. Key Features · Highlights the experimental basis of important discoveries in molecular biology. · Thoroughly updated with new information on gene editing tools, viruses, and transcription mechanisms, termination and antisense. · Provides learning objectives for each chapter. · Includes a list of relevant videos from the Internet about the topics covered in the chapter.

Replication and Transcription of Chromatin

By: Roumen G. Tsanev,George Russev,Iliya Pashev,Jordanka S. Zlatanova

Replication and Transcription of Chromatin summarizes the main structural features of chromatin and presents results on replication and transcription gained over the last 20 years. The book emphasizes DNA-histone complexes and their importance in restricting genetic information encoded in DNA. Figures are used to illustrate many of the most important concepts of chromatin replication and transcription, and promising hypotheses and models are discussed to promote further research. Replication and Transcription of Chromatin is an important reference for biochemists, biophysicists, molecular biologists, cell biologists, and other researchers interested in this topic.
