Molecular Assembly in Natural and Engineered Systems: Volume 103

Klappentext This volume explores some of the most exciting recent advances in basic research on molecular assembly in natural and engineered systems and how this knowledge is leading to advances in the various fields. PRAISE FOR THE SERIES: "Full of interest not only for the molecular biologist-for whom the numerous references will be invaluable-but will also appeal to a much wider circle of biologists, and in fact to all those who are concerned with the living cell."--British Medical Journal Zusammenfassung Explores some of the advances in basic research on molecular assembly in natural and engineered systems and how this knowledge is leading to advances in the various fields. This book is suitable for researchers involved in molecular biology and related fields.
