Biochemistry and Plant Molecular Biology

About The Book

Tensioned membranes form membrane structures. Membrane constructions include pneumatic, tensile, and cable domes. Membranes, cables, columns, and other construction parts create these three structures. Peripheral membrane proteins are connected to integral proteins or phospholipids on membrane surfaces. Peripheral membrane proteins don't cling to the hydrophobic centre of the membrane and are looser. Life begins in cells. They self-replicate and are our bodies' building blocks. We'll examine a cell's internal structures to learn how they work. We'll focus on nucleated eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic, nucleus-less cells are different. The cell membrane is made of back-to-back phospholipids (a "bilayer"). Cholesterol adds to the membrane's fluidity, and numerous proteins are embedded inside it. DNA double helix is today's most iconic biomolecule. It inspired stairs, decorations, and bridges. Vesicular transport proteins regulate or assist the passage of molecules across vesicle membranes. Vesicular transporters regulate vesicle concentration. Nitrogen is essential to plant structure and metabolism. Nearly 80% of the earth's atmosphere is nitrogen, soaking the plant world, but most plants can't use it. The book is well-organized and illustrated, making it ideal for teaching and reference. It serves molecular biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, and ecology. Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agricultural researchers can discover much here.
