Rin and Ami have been skipping molecular biology class all semester, and Professor Moro has had enough—he''s sentencing them to summer school on his private island. But they''re in store for a special lesson. Using Dr. Moro''s virtual reality machine to travel inside the human body, they''ll get a close-up look at the fascinating world of molecular biology.Join them in The Manga Guide to Molecular Biology, and learn all about DNA, RNA, proteins, amino acids, and more. Along the way, you''ll see chemical reactions first-hand and meet entertaining characters like Enzyme Man and Drinkzilla, who show how the liver metabolizes alcohol.Together with Ami and Rin, you''ll learn all about:–The organelles and proteins inside cells, and how they support cellular functions–The processes of transcription and translation, and your genes'' role in synthesizing proteins–The pieces that make up our genetic code, like nucleotides, codons, introns, and exons–The processes of DNA replication, mitosis and cytokinesis–Genetic technology like transduction and cloning, and the role of molecular biology in medicineWhether you need a molecular biology refresher or you''re just fascinated by the science of life, The Manga Guide to Molecular Biology will give you a uniquely fun and informative introduction.

Kumi loves to eat, but she's worried that her passion for junk food is affecting her health. Determined to unlock the secrets of dieting, she enlists the help of her brainy friend Nemoto and his beautiful biochemistry professor, Dr. Kurosaka. And so it begins...Follow along in The Manga Guide to Biochemistry as Kumi explores the mysteries of her body's inner workings. With the help of RoboCat, the professor's friendly endoscopic robot, you'll soar through the incredible chemical machinery that keeps us alive and get an up-close look at biopolymers like DNA and proteins, the metabolic processes that turn our food into energy, and the enzymes that fuel our bodies' chemical reactions.As you dive into the depths of plant and animal cells, you'll learn about:-The metabolism of substances like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and alcohol-How the energy powerhouses known as mitochondria produce ATP-DNA transcription and the different types of RNA that work together to translate the genetic code into proteins-Enzyme kinetics, how they're measured, and how enzyme inhibition worksWhether you're a medical student, an amateur scientist, or just curious about how your body turns cupcakes into energy, The Manga Guide to Biochemistry is your key to understanding the science of life.
