EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
Cellular Signal Processing presents the essential concepts underlying cell signaling. It is based on a unifying principle that traces cell signaling to biochemical switching reactions that link protein-protein interactions with energy production. Designed for use by undergraduate and graduate students in cell biology, biochemistry, and pharmacology courses, as well as medical students, it examines the cell as a data processing unit in which the proteins form an extremely complex and ever-changing network of interactions. The book emphasizes the evolutionary aspects of cell signaling and illuminates the analogies in communication among cellular, neuronal, and data-processing mechanisms. Features include a unique chapter on prokaryotic signal processing, discussion of the clinical aspects of cell signaling in health and disease, and an illustration program that highlights the major concepts.

Physical Biology of the Cell
by Rob Phillips (Author), Jane Kondev (Author), Julie Theriot (Author)

Physical Biology of the Cell is a biophysics textbook that explores how the basic tools and insights of physics and mathematics can illuminate the study of molecular and cell biology. Drawing on key examples and seminal experiments from cell biology, the book demonstrates how quantitative models can help refine our understanding of existing biological data and also be used to make useful predictions. The book blends traditional models in cell biology with the quantitative approach typical in...
