Synopsis:
Written with the non-scientist in mind, this book employs the molecule and
its interactions to explain the characteristics of living organisms in terms
of the underlying chemistry of life. Following introductory chapters on the
fundamentals of life, attention then turns to small molecules such as
hormones and neurotransmitters and subsequently to macromolecules including
proteins and nucleic acids. The interactions between small and macromolecules
remains a central point throughout the book. These include enzymatic
catalysis, hormone action, neurotransmission, regulation of metabolism,
biosynthesis of macromolecules, the mechanism of action of drugs, taste,
olfaction, learning and memory, and chemical communication.
