Transcription Regulation in Prokaryotes

This text is written for advanced students with a basic background in molecular biology and provides a clear and concise summary of the flow of information from genes to proteins in simple prokaryotic cells. Transcription regulation is of central importance to molecular biology, and in bacterial cells the major regulatory stage is transcription. While most textbooks cover transcription in a single chapter with a strong emphasis on eukaryotic transcription, this new text is devoted to prokaryotic transcription and is perfect for use on molecular biology, microbiology and technology courses.
