A biological organism can be viewed as a collection of molecular machines well integrated to function as a self-replicating unit. One of the principal goals in biology is to be able to fully understand the mechanisms of an organism in atomic detail. Viruses offer the best opport…
Molecular and cellular biology of viruses
The fundamentals of molecular and cellular virology -- The virus replication cycle -- Attachment, penetration, and uncoating -- Gene expression and genome replication in model bacteriophages -- Gene expression and genome replication in the positive-strand RNA viruses -- Gene exp…
Viruses interact with host cells in ways that uniquely reveal a great deal about general aspects of molecular and cellular structure and function. Molecular and Cellular Biology of Viruses leads students on an exploration of viruses by supporting engaging and interactive learnin…
