Molecular Biology of Assemblies and Machines

Molecular Biology of Assemblies and Machines presents a comprehensive narrative describing the structures of  macromolecular complexes and how they assemble and interact. Richly  illustrated, it is written for advanced undergraduates, graduate  students, and researchers in biochemistry, structural biology, molecular  biology, biophysics, cell biology, and microbiology, and will also  appeal to those in chemistry, immunology, and medicine.

Essentially  all major biological activities are performed by assemblies of  macromolecules (proteins, RNA, and DNA) acting in concert. These  assemblies are dynamic and many are endowed with machine-like  properties. This unique book explores the molecular mechanisms employed  at the critical level between individual macromolecules and cells and  organelles.
