Are you finishing your undergraduate studies in Molecular Biology or Biochemistry? Have you just started a Master’s Degree in Structural Biology or Cell Signalling? Are you in the mid of a PhD focusing on complex molecular machines? Or striving to bring about to students the most cutting-edge and complex principles of Biochemistry?
A textbook recently published by Steven Alasdair, Wolfgang Baumeister, Louise Johnson and Richard Perham stands out from the crowd of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology textbooks: the authors have successfully materialized their ambition of putting together an overwhelming amount of information on complex macromolecular machines of a cell. Their efforts are being nicely summarized in Tom L. Blundell’s book review that has just appeared in FEBS Letters.
As Prof Tom Blundell points out in his review of the book: ‘I have found that this stimulates new thinking about the spatial and temporal aspects of life processes. (…) This volume is the best text available to introduce this area of critical interest, not only to molecular and cell biologists but also to those involved in biotechnology, the discovery and design of biologicals, chemical tools and new medicines!’.
