Publisher's Synopsis
Molecular biology is a branch of biology that focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying biological activity, particularly interactions among biomolecules within a cell. Under this discipline, interactions between proteins, DNA, RNA, and their biosynthesis processes are observed and regulated. Molecular basis of various processes including replication, translation, transcription and cell function are studied under this discipline. Specific techniques from genetics and biochemistry are integrated with molecular biology techniques and concepts. Some common techniques in this domain include molecular cloning and gel electrophoresis, including macromolecule blotting. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and applications of molecular biology. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
