4. How Cells Work

So far you have learned something about how cells are constructed and how enzymes function. But a cell is much more than a bag filled with lipids, amino acids, sugars, enzymes, and nucleic acids. The cell must control how these components are made and how they interact with each other. Controlling and predicting the behavior of a cell is made more challenging by the phenomenon of macromolecular crowding, a condition that occurs routinely in living cells that may be essential for the efficient operation of metabolism. For example, the cytosol of the bacterium Escherichia coli contains about 300 to 400 mg/mL of macromolecules. Crowding from these high concentrations of macromolecules reduces the volume of solvent available for ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
