    Review quotes

    PRAISE FOR THE SERIES
    "Full of interest not only for the molecular biologist—for whom the numerous references will be invaluable—but will also appeal to a much wider circle of biologists, and in fact to all those who are concerned with the living cell."—British Medical Journal
