Cooper G., Hausman R. The Cell: A Molecular Approach

4th Ed. - Sinauer Associates, 2007. - 847 p. ISBN: 978-0-87893-219-1
The Cell has been designed to be an approachable and teachable text that can be covered in a single semester while allowing students to master the material in the entire book. It is assumed that most students will have had introductory biology and general chemistry courses, but will not have had previous courses in organic chemistry, biochemistry, or molecular biology.
Several aspects of the organization and features of the book will help students to approach and understand its subject matter.An overview of cells and cell research
The composition of cells
Cell metabolism
Fundamentals of molecular biology
The organization and sequences of cellular genomes
Replication, maintenance, and rearrangements of genomic DNA
RNA synthesis and processing
Protein synthesis, processing, and regulation
The nucleus
Protein sorting and transport : the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes
Bioenergetics and metabolism : mitochondria, chloroplasts, and peroxisomes
The cytoskeleton and cell movement
The plasma membrane
Cell walls, the extracellular matrix, and cell interactions
Cell signaling
The cell cycle
