The vast number of uncharacterized genes and proteins found in different organisms has led to an unprecedented explosion of molecular biological information. This complex information will have tremendous implications on disease diagnosis, management, and treatment. This book provides insights into the understanding of function and structure of genes and proteins, and of biochemical, cellular, and molecular signaling networks. (Imprint: Nova)
