Bioenergetics 4

Description

The fourth edition of Bioenergetics presents a clear and up-to-date explanation of chemiosmotic theory and covers mitochondria, bacteria, and chloroplasts. The publication takes account of the many newly determined structures, such as ATP synthase and the two photosystems of photosynthesis, that provide molecular insight into chemiosmotic energy transduction. This edition includes additional color figures of protein structures and many newly drawn illustrations designed to enable the reader to grasp the fundamental insights that are derived from knowing the structure. Every chapter has been extensively revised and updated, and a new chapter on the study of the bioenergetics of mitochondria in the intact cell is included to satisfy the enormous interest in this topic. Written for students and researchers alike, Bioenergetics, 4e is the most well-known, current and well respected text on chemiosmotic theory and membrane bioenergetics available.
