Molecular Microbial Ecology
ISBN: 9781859962831 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Microoganisms are distributed across every ecosystem, and microbial transformations are fundamental to the operation of the biosphere. Microbial ecology is the study of this interaction between microorganisms and their environment, and arguably represents one of the most important areas of biological research. Yet for many years our study of microbial flora was severely limited: the primary method of culturing microorganisms on media allowed us to study only between 0.1 and 10% of the total microbial flora in any given environment. Molecular Microbial... Microoganisms are distributed across every ecosystem, and microbial transformations are fundamental to the operation of the biosphere. Micr... |

Theoretical and Experimental DNA Computation
ISBN: 9783540657736 / Angielski / Twarda / 173 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. DNA computation has emerged in the last ten years as an exciting new - search ?eld at the intersection (and, some would say, frontiers) of computer science, biology, engineering, andmathematics.AlthoughanticipatedbyFe- man as long ago as the 1950s 59], the notion of performing computations at a molecular level was only realized in 1994, with Adleman's seminal work 3] on computing with DNA. Since then the ?eld has blossomed rapidly, with signi?cant theoretical and experimental results being reported regularly. Several books 120, 39] have described various aspects of DNA compu- tion, but...

Techniques in Prion Research
ISBN: 9783764322243 / Angielski / Miękka / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Although the precise nature of the infectious agent responsible for TSEs is not definitely identified, it is now clearly demonstrated that a protein named PrP (for Prion Protein) plays a critical role in the transmission and pathogenesis of TSEs. This book provides the general... Prion diseases, also known as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs), exist in both humans (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD)) and animals ... |
