Bioenergetics is the study of the way biological systems, usually
at the molecular level, utilize and convert energy in order to
drive the biochemical reactions that constitute life. However,
because of its often quantitative basis and the amount of technical
jargon, the subject tends to alienate and intimidate students. This
beautifully illustrated text has a lucid and logical approach to
the subject. The text uses the modern perspective throughout so
that the student is given an easily assimilable, logical
introduction to the important concepts of the subject, particulary
the core concept, the 'chemiosmotic theory'. It has been
specifically designed to make information easily accessible by
devoting each double-page spread to one topic. Within the spread, a
variety of carefully constructed diagrams present information in a
concise and innovative manner. The text is further enhanced by a
comprehensive guide to additional reading.
- Original, easily understood combination of visual and written
information.
- 43 double-page speads give a clear and concise introduction to
this traditionally difficult subject.
- The most up to date text available, covering all modern
molecular genetic techniques.
- Competitively priced.
