Praise for the First Edition Very valuable. Journal of the American AgingAssociation Remarkably comprehensive yet concise and contains something foreveryone . . . a wide range of Cell Biologists will find this book valuable.Cell Biology International A broadly conceived and lively account ofmitochondrial biology and biochemistry . . . written with such clarity andspark and in such an organized and complete manner. Biochemistry andMolecular Biology Education This book is the eagerly awaited Second Edition ofthe bestselling book widely acknowledged as the first modern trulycomprehensive work on mitochondria. Mitochondria Second Edition brings readersup to date on the many significant findings that have occurred since the bookwas first published nearly a decade ago. As in that seminal first edition thisSecond Edition tackles the biochemistry genetics and pathology ofmitochondria in different organisms. The growth of the subject has requiredmore emphasis on mammalian mitochondria but fundamental new insights fromother organisms are also included. The new edition provides thorough updates ofall the literature concerning this vital organelle its functions ongoingresearch surrounding it and its importance visvis a broad range of issuesin cellular and molecular biology. Mitochondria Second Edition includesdetailed descriptions of current and developing technologies involved inmitochondrial research and discovery and highlights subjects that are growingsuch as the use of proteomics. Complete with blackandwhite drawings andphotographs Mitochondria Second Edition is an invaluable resource for allgeneticists biologists and educators in the life sciences.
