Introduction: Cells as macromolecular assemblies. 1. Cells obey the laws of physics and chemistry. 2. Cells are organized into compartments --
pt. 1. DNA as a store of information. 3. Genes are mutable units. 4. DNA is the genetic material. 5. The topology of nucleic acids. 6. Isolating the gene --
pt. 2. Translation: expressing genes as proteins. 7. The assembly line for protein synthesis. 8. Transfer RNA is the translational adaptor. 9. Ribosomes provide a translation factory. 10. Messenger RNA is the template --
pt. 3. Constructing the cell. 11. The apparatus for protein localization. 12. Receptors and signal transduction: channels and ion uptake. 13. Cell cycle and growth regulation --
pt. 4. Control of prokaryotic gene expression. 14. Control at initiation: RNA polymerase-promoter interactions. 15. A panoply of operons: the lactose paradigm and others. 16. Control of RNA structure: termination and antitermination. 17. Phage strategies: lytic cascades and lysogenic repression. pt. 5. Perpetuation of DNA. 18. The replicon: unit of replication. 19. Primosomes and replisomes: the apparatus for DNA replication. 20. Systems that safeguard DNA --
pt. 6. Organization of the eukaryotic genome. 21. The extraordinary power of DNA technology. 22. Genome size and genetic content. 23. The eukaryotic gene: conserved exons and unique introns. 24.
