Description: Protocells : Bridging Nonliving and Living Matter, Paperback by Rasmussen, Steen (EDT); Bedau, Mark A. (EDT); Chen, Liaohai (EDT); Deamer, David (EDT); Krakauer, David C. (EDT), ISBN 0262545888, ISBN-13 9780262545884, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The first comprehensive general resource on state-of-the-art protocell research, describing current approaches to making new forms of life from scratch in the laboratory. Protocells offers a comprehensive resource on current attempts to create simple forms of life from scratch in the laboratory. These minimal versions of cells, known as protocells, are entities with lifelike properties created from nonliving materials, and th provides in-depth investigations of processes at the interface between nonliving and living matter. Chapters by experts in the field put this state-of-the-art research in the context of theory, laboratory work, and computer simulations on the components and properties of protocells. Th also provides perspectives on research in related areas and such broader societal issues as commercial applications and ethical considerations. Th covers all major scientific approaches to creating minimal life, both in the laboratory and in simulation. It emphasizes the bottom-up view of physicists, chemists, and material scientists but also includes the molecular biologists' top-down approach and the origin-of-life perspective. The capacity to engineer living technology could have an enormous socioeconomic impact and could bring both good and ill. Protocells promises to be the essential reference for research on bottom-up assembly of life and living technology for years to come. It is written to be both resource and inspiration for scientists working in this exciting and important field and a definitive text for the interested layman.
