This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of
protein phosphatase research, a rapidly evolving field with
increasing importance in our understanding of the molecular basis
of cell biology and of pathological processes.
The book covers dephosphorylation processes involving
serine/threonine, as well as tyrosine and histidine residues, and
aims to be a useful resource for both the advanced reader as well
as the newcomer to the field. It is also valuable for those working
in the pharmaceutical and Biotech industries.
Few issues engender so much heat between Christians as the topic of
creation. Reasonable, calm, and supremely well informed, this is a
book written by someone who is passionate about both science and
the Bible. 'I hope,' says Denis Alexander, 'that reading it will
encourage you to believe, as I do, that the 'Book of God's Word'
and the 'Book of God's Works' can be held firmly together in
harmony.' This substantial new edition updates the science, and
extends the author's discussion of the theological implications.
The Faraday Institute has become justifiably famous for its
excellent work on the interface between science and faith.
Over the past centuries the pendulum has constantly swung between
an emphasis on the role of either nature or nurture in shaping
human destiny, a pendulum often energised by ideological
considerations. In recent decades the flourishing of developmental
biology, genomics, epigenetics and our increased understanding of
neuronal plasticity have all helped to subvert such dichotomous
notions. Nevertheless, the media still report the discovery of a
gene 'for' this or that behaviour, and the field of behavioural
genetics continues to extend its reach into the social sciences,
reporting the heritability of such human traits as religiosity and
political affiliation. There are many continuing challenges to
notions of human freedom and moral responsibility, with consequent
implications for social flourishing, the legal system and religious
beliefs. In this book, Denis Alexander critically examines these
challenges, concluding that genuine free will, often influenced by
genetic variation, emerges from an integrated view of human
personhood derived from contemporary biology.
Atheists assert that the natural world has no meaning or purpose.
Dr Denis Alexander, Emeritus Director of The Faraday Institute for
Science and Religion at St. Edmunds College, Cambridge, draws a
different conclusion. Not only do recent evolutionary biological
data appear inconsistent with the claim that the world is
purposeless, but the Christian doctrine of creation has provided
and continues to provide both context and stimulus for the study of
the natural world. Christians started biology! However, is a belief
in an omnipotent, benign Creator consistent with a world of pain
and suffering? From a lifetime's study in the biological sciences,
Denis Alexander believes that whilst the cost of existence is
extremely high, it can nonetheless be squared with the idea of a
God of love whose ultimate purposes for humankind render that cost
more comprehensible.
