✦ Synopsis

Dr. Spirin is a world authority on ribosomes and has published two earlier books in this area in English.
This text is for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students and will cover the structure, function, and biosynthesis of ribosomes. Ribosomes are important in protein synthesis, which is currently a hot topic in many different areas of research.
