The fourth edition of Molecular Cell Biology, by Harvey Lodish, Arnie Berk, Larry Zipursky, Paul Matsudaira, David Baltimore and Jim Darnell published this past October 1999 to much applaud and success. The focus of the revision was to update the science, and to present the material in ways as to make it as accessible to the widest audience possible.
Revisions take much time and planning.
As well, in order to be the most useful material for courses in molecular cell biology, we rely on instructors such as you to provide feedback for planning a new edition. You can help us in this initial planning stage of the fifth edition by filling out our web-based survey. The estimated time to complete the survey is 45 minutes.
