Metal Ions in Gene Regulation (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Silver, Simon; Walden, William

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first volume on the role of metal ions in regulating genes to focus not only on toxicity effects of metals but also on the role of metal ions in normal metabolisms, in both prokaryotes and in eukaryotes. This book is a comprehensive treatment of the role of metal ions in gene regulation, and it will be of great utility for those doing basic biological and biomedical research.
