How Proteins Work is an up-to-date and authoritative account of protein function in living systems, explained within the governing parameters of physics, chemistry, and evolution. This text will enable advanced undergraduate students in biochemistry and biophysics to understand the relationships among protein function, structure, and dynamics. It will also serve as a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers looking for a reference on the fundamentals underlying protein function. By providing an integrated view of proteins at both a cellular and systemic level, this textbook shows how evolution drives proteins to adopt domain structures that combine to achieve biological outcomes. The association of proteins into dimers, molecular machines, and multi-enzymatic complexes enables them to achieve catalytic and functional efficiency.

Kids will love reading this endearing story of kindness with its upbeat rhymes and surprise ending. Parents and teachers can use the story as a teaching tool about sharing, caring and helping others. The cutout in the back of the book prompts kids to action by allowing them to "cycle the biCYCLE" and keep the cycle of good deeds going.
Denison, Iowa, is as close to the heart of Middle America as it
gets. The hometown of Donna Reed, Denison has adopted "It's a
wonderful life" as its slogan and painted the phrase on the water
tower that hovers over everything in town. And in many respects,
life is pretty good here: it's a quiet town, a great place to raise
children; the crime rate is low, the schools strong. It's home to
the county's only Wal-Mart and a factory that does a booming
business in antiterrorism barriers. For outsiders looking in, there
is something familiar and comforting about Denison -- it conforms
to the picture of the wholesome, corn-fed heartland which we as a
nation cherish and which we think we know so well.
This book explores the following key questions: What is literacy? What do we mean when we profess literacy? How can we create a theoretical map of writing studies in which to locate the ways we define and situate our notions and assumptions about literacy? The author addresses these questions by mapping the ideological perspectives on literacy that inform the field's theoretical terrain.
This study views the history of error in composition instruction through a reader's rather than a writer's perspective, and in so doing, documents the manner in which our visions of error and perceptions of student writers who produce error have both transformed and remained static over the course of 130 years. A central conclusion derived from this is an assertion that error is largely produced by readers of student writers, rather than student writers themselves.
This book explores tensions surrounding the teaching of literacy in three settings of nontraditional adult education: correctional education, vocational education, and the Highlander Folk School. What literacy is supposed to do, and thus what it means, varies widely across these discourses. At its center of the book is the belief that teachers and scholars must understand the worlds toward which they, and the institutions they teach within, aspire to create through the process of education.
Includes essays that illustrate and analyze various classroom-based strategies for productive collaboration between literature and composition. This work covers topics that span textuality and critical pedagogy, argumentation and hybrid genres, student engagement and popular culture, and materiality and assessment.
Brings together scholars from various disciplines, institutions, methodologies and genres, who are interested in writing and preparing teachers and researchers of writing. This book covers, topics such as writing assessment, teaching writing and teacher preparation, graduate education, electronic technologies, community literacy, and more.
This book provides theoretical models and practical methods for helping writing teachers and writing program administrators within postsecondary institutions conduct the interdisciplinary, collaborative consulting activities that are common with formal and information writing across the curriculum (WAC) programs. It specifically discusses how to conduct the day-to-day work of negotiating close working partnerships with faculty in other disciplines and is the first book length treatment to do so. The book deepens current understandings of how writing specialist collaborate with non-writing specialists in academic contexts and provides a map for structuring successful collaborations in the future.
This work calls attention to the ways that teachers of writing must attend to the idea of the classroom, must be conscious of the spaces in which they meet students and must be aware of the physical, material conditions that constrain or affect the teaching of writing.
