Radiation Resistant Life
Um þessa rafbók
It examines the genetic and molecular basis of radiation resistance, revealing how these organisms cope with DNA damage. The book progresses from introducing radiation resistance to examining Deinococcus radiodurans's unique DNA repair pathways and antioxidant systems. It then compares various radiation-resistant organisms and explores biotechnological applications like bioremediation of radioactive waste and enhancements to cancer therapy.
The book emphasizes translating research into practical applications, appealing to a broad audience interested in biology, biotechnology, and environmental science. Through genomic analyses, proteomic studies, and biochemical assays, the book elucidates the potential for synthetic biology to create novel radiation-resistant organisms.
