Purchase options and add-ons

The Problems Book helps students appreciate the ways in which experiments and simple calculations can lead to an understanding of how cells work by introducing the experimental foundation of cell and molecular biology. Each chapter will review key terms, test for understanding basic concepts, and pose research-based problems. The Problems Book has been designed to correspond with the first twenty chapters of Molecular Biology of the Cell, Fifth Edition.

  • Includes the solutions to the end-of-chapter problems in the textbook Molecular Biology of the Cell, Fifth Edition.
  • Contains over 2,000 problems and their solutions.
  • All of the solutions to the problems in The Problems Book are on the CD-ROM that is packaged with every copy of the book.
  • The problems are organized into the following categories: Terms to Learn, Definitions, True/False, Thought Problems, Calculations, and Data Handling.

The Problems Book will be useful for homework assignments and as a basis for class discussion. It could even provide inspiration for exam questions.

Product description

About the Author

John Wilson received his PhD from the California Institute of Technology and did his postdoctoral work at Stanford University. He is currently Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Baylor College of Medicine, with research interests in genome stability and gene therapy. He has taught medical and graduate students for many years, co authored books on immunology, molecular biology, and biochemistry, and received numerous teaching honors, including the Distinguished Faculty and Robertson Presidential Awards for excellence in education.

Tim Hunt received his PhD in biochemistry from Cambridge University, where he supervised undergraduates in cell biology for more than 20 years. He spent many summers in the late 1970s and early 1980s teaching molecular biology at the Marine Biological Laboratories in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. In 1990, he moved to a position at ICRF Clare Hall Laboratories just outside London, where he works on the control of the cell cycle. He is a Fellow of The Royal Society of London and a foreign associate of the US National Academy of Sciences. In recognition of his contribution to the discovery of key regulators of cell cycle, he was one of the recipients of the 2001 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.

    Tim Hunt was, until his retirement in 2010, a ‘principal scientist’ (note, not THE principal scientist) at Cancer Research UK, Clare Hall Laboratories, in South Mimms, Hertfordshire. Tim was born in 1943 and grew up in Oxford, moving to Cambridge to read Natural Sciences in 1961. He obtained his Ph.D. (The Synthesis of Haemoglobin) from the Department of Biochemistry in Cambridge in 1968. He spent almost 30 years in Cambridge, working in the Department of Biochemistry, at first on the control of protein synthesis in red blood cells, sea urchin eggs and clam oocytes and from about 1983 onwards on the control of the cell cycle. He has also worked in the USA; he was a postdoctoral Fellow at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine from 1968-70 and spent summers at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole from 1977 until 1985, teaching laboratory courses and doing research. In 1982, he discovered cyclins, which turned out to be components of “Key Regulator(s) of the Cell Cycle”. This led to a share of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2001, together with Lee Hartwell and Paul Nurse. Tim Hunt was chairman of the council of EMBO (European Molecular Biology Organization) from 2006 - 2010. In 2011, he was appointed to the Scientific Council of the ERC (European Research Council). Tim has been helping to make up problems for Molecular Biology of the Cell by Alberts et al. since 1985, and The Problems Book is now in its 6th edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Problems along with Clear Solutions!
Reviewed in the United States on 24 January 2012

This was a required purchase for my Molecular Cell Biology course, which I am currently enrolled (Undergraduate class). Most of the problems that are in this book are heavily orientated around conceptual ideas rather than specific nitty gritty details. This is great because our professor assigns us the questions that will be on the problems test, but with the chance to have the question worded slightly different to affect the answer (we are not supposed to memorize the answer, rather understand the concepts that are be questioned).

The solutions DVD that comes with the book is really nice and offers an easily searchable layout to find the chapters answers that you are looking for. Everything is explained very nicely and I very rarely find myself having to go back to the book for clarification for the answer's reasoning. This is what makes this book deserve five out of five stars.

I would recommend this book to any one of my colleges, however they probably already have it.

Viel mehr kann ich da jetzt auch nicht drüber schreiben.
Arbeite dieses Buch zum Lehrbuch durch, und ich finde es hilft enorm, sich die INhalte zu merken und mit ihnen zu arbeiten.

Ansonsten müsste man sich ja selbst irgendwelche Probleme, kreativen Fragestellungen etc ausdenken - Ohne ist Fachbuch lesen doch nur überfliegen, wenn man mit dem Inhalt nicht irgendwie arbeitet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable companion to "Molecular Biology of the Cell"
Reviewed in Canada on 17 September 2011

This book is a solid supplement to the highly acclaimed textbook by Alberts at al. Each chapter is divided into sections that correspond to those in the Alberts. For each section there are various categories of problems under the following headings (as applicable): "Definitions", "True/False", "Thought Problems", "Calculations" and "Data Handling". The answers are found on the CD that comes with the book.

The answers to all the problems at the end of the Alberts are given. However, the majority of the problems presented are original and not found in the textbook.

These problems, as well as their answers and the many figures are very informative and often give valuable insights into particular topics that may not have been necessarily obvious in the textbook. Most importantly, solving them often necessitates critical thinking about key aspects of molecular biology. This in turn results in a lot of learning.

I highly recommend this book and strongly encourage students that are using the Alberts to get it and work out as many problems as they could. Solving problems is an essential part of learning a subject like molecular biology, and this book effectively serves this purpose.
