"Proteins are essential to life, having a great variety of roles in all organisms. They are the ultimate micro-machines: some are building blocks, joining with other substances to make the cells from which we are formed; some are catalysts, speeding up biochemical reactions to keep our cells active and alive; yet others help cells to communicate, to move, to build up the complex mix of tissues that make up our bodies, and to regulate unf ..."

"Proteins are essential to life, having a vital role in all living organisms. They are the ultimate micro machines: some are building blocks, joining with other substances to make the cells from which we are all formed. Some are catalysts, speeding up essential biochemical reactions to keep our cells alive. Yet others help cells to communicate, to move, and to build up the complex mix of tissues that make up our bodies. Introduction to P ..."
"Two factors dominate current molecular biology: the amount of raw data is increasing very rapidly and successful applications in biomedical research require carefully curated and annotated databases. The quality of the experimental data –– especially nucleic acid sequences –– is satisfactory; however, annotations depend on features inferred from the data rather than measured directly, for instance the identification of genes in genome s ..."
"Over the last century, the centrality of proteins to life on earth has become increasingly clear - from forming enzymes acting as catalysts for specific reactions, to crucial molecules such as antibodies in the immune system, and as signalling molecules between cells. In fact, the more they are studied, the more proteins continue to reveal new and exciting functions. Indeed, by studying amino acid sequences and protein structures it is ..."
Introduction to Genomics(2nd Edition) by ArthurM. Lesk Paperback, 424 Pages, Published 2012 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-956435-4, ISBN: 0-19-956435-3
"Our genome is the blueprint to our existence: it encodes all the information we need to develop from a single cell into a hugely complicated functional organism. But it is more than a static information store: our genome is a dynamic, tightly-regulated collection of genes, which switch on and off in many combinations to give the variety of cells from which our bodies are formed. But how do we identify the genes that make up our genome? ..."

Introduction to Bioinformatics(5th Edition) by ArthurM. Lesk Paperback, 432 Pages, Published 2019 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-879414-1, ISBN: 0-19-879414-2
"Active, accessible, and assuming no prior knowledge: the ideal text for biologists encountering bioinformatics for the first time. A vast amount of biological information about a wide range of species has become available in recent years as technological advances have significantly reduced the time it takes to sequence a genome or determine a novel protein structure. This text describes how bioinformatics can be used as a powerful set o ..."
Introduction to Bioinformatics(3rd Edition) by ArthurM. Lesk Paperback, 474 Pages, Published 2008 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-920804-3, ISBN: 0-19-920804-2
"Life in a post-genomic age has the promise to revolutionize our understanding of how our genes shape who we are, how our genome evolved, and how we function. There are new possibilities for an improved quality of life as we exploit new knowledge to design novel, more effective drugs. Central to these possibilities being realized is one of the most important information-gathering, data-mining, and knowledge-building tools in current rese ..."

"On 26 June 2000, the completion of the draft sequence of the Human Genome saw the sciences of biology and medicine change forever. It promised new insights into our genetic make-up, how our genes shape who we are, and how we function, and new possibilities for an improved quality of life, exploiting new knowledge to design novel, more effective drugs. At the heart of this breakthrough lies a scientific discipline which is now one of the ..."

"This book is based on a one-semester course for advanced undergraduates specializing in physical chemistry. I am aware that the mathematical training of most science majors is more heavily weighted towards analysis - typ- ally calculus and differential equations - than towards algebra. But it remains my conviction that the basic ideas and applications of group theory are not only vital, but not dif?cult to le ..."

"This book presents to students of introductory physical chemistry the basic principles of symmetry and group theory, and their use in describing and predicting molecular structure and spectra. Symmetry is a crucial determinant of many chemical phenomena, and group theory is the grammar of the language of symmetry. In many cases, simple calculations suffice to explain why certain triatomic molecules are linear and others bent, or w ..."
