Description
Book SynopsisThree-dimensional modeling and sequence data on protein, RNA, and DNA have contributed to the recent elucidation of evolutionary pathways in biological energy conversion and have allowed a new understanding of the molecular interrelationships between bacterial, plant, and animal systems.
