Based on more than 30 years of ribosome research and incorporating the most recent structural evidence, this book presents a uniform picture of the largest enzyme complex found in living cells, shedding light on many decades-old questions in molecular biology.
From the contents:
- Structure of the Ribosome
- Ribosome Assembly
- tRNA and Synthetases
- mRNA Degradation
- Initiation and Elongation
- Termination and Ribosome Recycling
- Regulation of Ribosome Biosynthesis
- Inhibition of the Translational Apparatus by Antibiotics
A premier resource for anyone with an interest in ribosomal protein synthesis, whether in the context of molecular biology, biotechnology, pharmacology or molecular medicine.
