Atomic Evidence: Seeing the Molecular Basis of Life

by David S. Goodsell

This book will take an evidence-based approach to current knowledge about biomolecules and their place in our lives, inviting readers to explore how we know what we know, and how current gaps in knowledge may influence the way we approach the information. Biomolecular science is increasingly important in our everyday life, influencing the choices we make about our diet, our health, and our wellness. Often, however, information about biomolecular science is presented as a list of immutable facts, discouraging critical thought. The book will introduce the basic tools of structural biology, supply real-life examples, and encourage critical thought about aspects of biology that are still not fully understood.

[Moritz Munzinger · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great as always. Different approach than machinery of life but great for explaining important concepts of biology in a approachable way, still going deep and to the heart of it.
