Présentation de l'éditeur

Beginning with the discovery of DNA in the 1950s, molecular science has uncovered a world at the smallest levels of life that is stunningly complex. Nothing in the in animate world prepared scientists for what they would find - the enormous degree of sophistication and organization that exists in systems under our skin. Words such as awesome, marvelous and profound are in adequate descriptors. The main purpose of this book is to make these exhilarating discoveries known to everyone. Therefore, the book describes cellular processes such as protein synthesis, gene regulation and cell division, and cellular machinery such as protein motors, spinning enzymes and mechanized gates. The descriptions are detailed enough to convey the awesome complexity, yet the use of analogies, illustrations and eye-witness reports by Vernon the virus and other tiny critters make them enjoyable and understandable to readers with and without a familiarity with science. Are you a believer in God but worry that evolution may be true? The complexity of the systems described herein will convince you that evolution is myth and life is God's greatest creation.
