"In perusing these chapters, I found much of interest. It is worth investigating." --P. Brickell in Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry

"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
