Molecular Cell Biology
Molecular Cell Biology is a comprehensive textbook authored by Arnold Berk, Monty Krieger, Chris A. Kaiser, Anthony Bretscher, Hidde Ploegh, and Angelika Amon. First published in 1995, the book has been continuously revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in the field of cell biology. It is widely regarded as one of the best books on cell biology and is a standard text for undergraduate and graduate courses in biology, biochemistry, and biophysics.
The authors are all prominent figures in the field of cell biology, with extensive research experience and numerous publications in top scientific journals. Arnold Berk is a professor emeritus of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Monty Krieger is a professor of biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Chris A. Kaiser is a professor and former dean of the faculty of arts and sciences at MIT. Anthony Bretscher is a professor of cell and developmental biology at Cornell University. Hidde Ploegh is a professor of biology at MIT and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Angelika Amon was a professor of biology at MIT until her untimely passing in 2020.
The book's introduction provides an overview of the fundamental principles of cell biology, including the organization and function of cellular structures, the molecular mechanisms of cell communication and signaling, and the regulation of gene expression. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding these principles in order to comprehend the complex processes that occur within cells and the role they play in health and disease. The book is divided into six main sections, covering topics such as DNA replication and repair, transcription and translation, cell signaling, and the cell cycle. Each chapter includes clear and concise explanations of key concepts, accompanied by helpful illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding.
