Download or read book Biophysical approaches to translational control of gene expression written by Jonathan D. Dinman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a premier resource on understanding the ribosome's essential nature and how it interacts with other proteins and nucleic acids to control protein synthesis. As one of the central foundations in our understanding of the biology at the molecular level, this topic appeals to a wide audience, from bench researcher to clinician. With the advent of atomic scale structures, methods to visualize and separate individual molecules, and the computational power to model the complex interactions of over a million atoms at once, our understanding of how gene expression is controlled at the level of protein translation is now deeply ensconced in the biophysical realm.
