| Abstract | This very brief volume reviews current information about certain biochemical and genetic aspects of mitochondria. The authors concentrate their attention on mitochondria replication, and the genetic specification of mitochondria components. This field is developing rapidly and in most areas the final answers are not available; therefore, new discoveries about the topology of mitochondria DNA and its variation in different organisms have partially superceded the material presented in this volume. Nevertheless the subject matter is extremely exciting, the presentation for the most part lucid and informative, and speculation is appropriately conservative and limited. I would recommend this volume for an evening of interesting reading to workers in almost any field of biology and biochemistry. This subject has broad implications in fields from molecular biology and developmental biology up through such clinical situations as the possible mechanisms of chloramphenical toxicity. While the volume is too specialized to be easily incorporated into a general biochemistry course for undergraduates, it is suitable for use in seminar courses and is excellent source material for stimulating discussion and further experimentation. |
