Nachrichten aus der Chemie
"Die umfangreiche Zahl der Beispiele belegt die neue Dimension, die das Code-Engineering erschließt. Wir können neuartige Proteine mit nicht vorhersehbaren Eigenschaften erwarten, zumal schon für Polypeptide mit den 20 proteinogenen Aminosäuren der Faltungscode ungelöst ist. Aber auch Fragen zu neuen Einsatzfeldern in Technik und Pharmakologie, zur Evolution des genetischen Codes und zur Ethik der tiefgreifenden Veränderungen, die das Code-Engineering ermöglicht, werden behandelt."

"Wer sich über diese brisante Materie informieren möchte, ist mit dem konkurrenzlosen Standardwerk von Budisa exzellent beraten."
