The Genetic Code and Its Translation, the final volume in the five-part overview of cell biology series Visualizing Cell Processes, combines computer-animated graphics with clear, concise narration to break down complex concepts--in this case, a look at protein structure and the steps in manufacturing amino acid strands in DNA. Meant to be viewed in short segments, the eight modules included here are: "The Protein Nature of Life," "Protein Structure," "Transcription," "Translation and Protein Synthesis," “Gene Regulation in Prokaryotes,” “Exons and Introns,” "Mutations," and "Renegade DNA--The Viruses." Assuming a knowledge of both basic cellular biology and genetic terminology (much of which is acquired in the series' initial four volumes), this is recommended for more advanced high school science and academic collections. The other titles in the series (series price: $295) are: Cells and Molecules, Cell Movement and Transport, Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration and DNA Replication and Cell Reproduction.
