Formation and Fate of Cell Organelles is a collection of papers that discusses the manner in which cellular structures arise from the component molecules, particularly on cytoplasmic inheritance, and the problem of spontaneous assembly. One paper describes the process how the phospholipid lecithin, assemble spontaneously into complex structures with great versatility when the lipid molecules are dispersed in an aqueous environment in vitro. Another paper discusses the resolution of the spindle fibers of the mitotic apparatus where the major protein in the apparatus is a 3.5 S particle, with a molecular weight of ca. 68,000. One paper investigates the degree of organization in the bacterial cell where inside the bacterial cell, the DNA act as its own method of compartmentation. Possibly, the DNA forms a coil which contains the mechanisms for the synthesis of the deoxy triphosphate into DNA. The coil leaves none of the mechanisms for the normal metabolism of the cell nor the mechanisms for the formation of RNA. Another paper examines cytoplasmic genes and organelle formation. The collection can prove valuable for bio-chemists, cellular biologists, micro-biologists, and developmental biologists.

The Use of Radioautography in Investigating Protein Synthesis is a collection of papers that discusses the tracing of labeled proteins through photographic emulsion, particularly radioautography or autoradiography. The papers discuss proteins at the site of their synthesis, their subsequent migration through the cell, their secretions, and the formation of the basement lamella in salamanders. One paper outlines the primary aims in specimen preparation for electron microscope autoradiographic techniques and the procedures to achieve them. Another paper reports on migrating proteins (CNP) and nonmigrating proteins of the Amoeba proteus nucleus in which nonmigrating proteins are sedimentable by centrifugation in situ in the nucleus. One paper investigates the extent of protein synthesis for cell renewal in thoracic duct lymphocytes (TDL) or that for export or intracellular turnover. The protein synthesized by the large cell population in TDL is associated with mitosis and cell renewal. A major portion of that synthesized by the medium cells (80 per cent) and practically all of that produced by small cells are for purposes other than cell renewal. The collection can prove beneficial to biochemists, micro-biologists, bio-physicists, cytologists, histologists, pathologists, cellular researchers, and academicians involved in the study of cellular biology.

Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) combine elements of computer science, information technology, mathematics, statistics, and biotechnology, providing the methodology and in silico solutions to mine biological data and processes, for knowledge discovery.In the era of molecular diagnostics, targeted drug design, translational medicine and Big Data for personalized medicine, computational methods for data analysis are essential tools for biochemistry, biology, biotechnology, pharmacology, biomedical and computer science, as well as mathematics and statistics. New areas are emerging, and relatively isolated fields are becoming current hot research areas in BCB, such as Artificial Intelligence, Quantitative Biology, Computational Vaccinology, Epidemiology and Infection Diffusion, Synthetic Biology, and Phenomics. The role of BCB in characterizing SARS-CoV-2 variants and facing the COVID-19 pandemic is just one example of how these tools can help us better prepare for such future events.This Encyclopedia comprises three sections, covering Methods, Topics, and Applications. The methodologies and algorithms underpinning BCB are described in the Methods section; Topics covers traditional areas such as phylogeny, as well as more recent areas such as translational bioinformatics, cheminformatics and environmental informatics; Applications provides guidance for commonly asked “how to” questions.Navigating the maze of confusing jargon and the plethora of software tools is often confronting for students and researchers alike. This comprehensive and unique resource provides up-to-date theory and application content to address molecular data analysis requirements, with precise definitions of terminology and lucid explanations by field experts.
