Every day it seems the media focus on yet another new development in biology--gene therapy, the human genome project, the creation of new varieties of animals and plants through genetic engineering. These possibilities have all emanated from molecular biology. A History of Molecular Biology is a complete but compact account for a general readership of the history of this revolution. Michel Morange, himself a molecular biologist, takes us from the turn-of-the-century convergence of molecular biology's two progenitors, genetics and biochemistry, to the perfection of gene splicing and cloning techniques in the 1980s. Drawing on the important work of American, English, and French historians of science, Morange describes the major discoveries--the double helix, messenger RNA, oncogenes, DNA polymerase--but also explains how and why these breakthroughs took place. The book is enlivened by mini-biographies of the founders of molecular biology: Delbrück, Watson and Crick, Monod and Jacob, Nirenberg. This ambitious history covers the story of the transformation of biology over the last one hundred years; the transformation of disciplines: biochemistry, genetics, embryology, and evolutionary biology; and, finally, the emergence of the biotechnology industry. An important contribution to the history of science, A History of Molecular Biology will also be valued by general readers for its clear explanations of the theory and practice of molecular biology today. Molecular biologists themselves will find Morange's historical perspective critical to an understanding of what is at stake in current biological research.

The subject is one of major interest in basic microbiology and infectious diseases and the book is a known classic.

Illustrates the Complex Biochemical Relations that Permit Life to ExistIt can be argued that the dawn of the 21st century has emerged as the age focused on molecular biology, which includes all the regulatory mechanisms that make cellular biochemical reaction pathways stable and life possible. For biomedical engineers, this concept is essential to

This book serves as a tool to expand the knowledge of researchers in the discipline of microbiology and biochemistry encompassing the fields of molecular biology, structural biology, and crystallography for the two very important industrial enzymes: proteases and lipases. In addition it covers the fermentation technology for the production of locally isolated microbial lipases and proteases. This book presents work done in our laboratory which extensively reviews two major types of lipases and proteases: thermostable and/or organic-solvent tolerant including a chapter on cold-active and organic solvent tolerant lipase and protease isolated from Antarctica. Detailed descriptions on the isolation methods, protein production, protein characterisation, and molecular cloning are discussed. Further works on structural biology of both proteases and lipases which include docking, molecular modification as well as protein crystallisation are also presented. For protein crystallographers, this book highlights a novel discovery of high temperature crystallisation of lipase.In addition, this book also offers a chapter on the cultivation strategy of lipase and protease in yeast expression systems and its bio-reactor studies. In short, this book is an all-in-one quick source of reference for researchers who want to have a quick grasp of understanding on many aspects of enzyme production, starting from the isolation and expression of the enzyme until crystallisation and structure elucidation of the protein.
