Complete project will comprise a twelve volume series in print format and an online version Focuses on understanding biological phenomena at the level of molecules and their interactions that govern life processes Each volume will contain a series of sections focused in specific areas of the discipline, making each entry accessible to people with diverse backgrounds in biology, chemistry, math and computer science or physics who work in any of the sub-disciplines of the subject and also to those in related areas
Handbook of Molecular Life Sciences will focus on understanding biological phenomena at the level of molecules and their interactions that govern life processes. Volumes 1 to 3 will focus on genes and genomes, volumes 4 to 6 on protein structure and function, volumes 7 & 8 will explore systems biology, using genomics and proteomics as the focus and volumes 9 and 10 on molecular aspects of cell structure and function. Volume 11 will explore unifying concepts and theory from biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics that are essential for understanding the molecular life sciences and will also include sections on teaching perspectives and assessment tools. Volume 12 will cover basic aspects of the various experimental approaches that are used in the Molecular Life Sciences.

About the editors
Dr. Ellis Bell earned his Ph.D. from Oxford University and is currently a Professor of chemistry at University of Richmond, where his research is focused on how dynamic aspects of protein structure are involved in both catalysis and allosteric regulation of multi-subunit proteins. He is highly influential and well-respected in the field, particularly in the research of protein structure and function, enzyme kinetics and allosteric regulation, protein folding, and structural genomics. Dr. Bell is a governing member of The Protein Society (Education Committee); a member of ASBMB, where he initiated ASBMB’s Undergraduate Affiliate Network; and a member of the National Science Foundation’s Biomolecular Systems Cluster, among other organizations.
