Transformer: The Deep Chemistry of Life and Death Lane Nick
What brings the Earth to life, and our own lives to an end?For decades, biology has been dominated by the study of genetic information. Our inheritance also includes our living metabolic network, a flame passed from generation to generation, right back to the origin of life. Information is important, but it is only part of what makes us alive.
Transformer is Lane's voyage, as a biochemist, to find the inner meaning of the Krebs cycle--and its reverse--why it is still spinning at the heart of life and In Transformer, biochemist Nick Lane reveals a scientific renaissance that is hiding in plain sight --how the same simple chemistry gives rise to life and causes our demise.Lane is among the vanguard of researchers asking why the Krebs cycle, the "perfect circle" at the heart of metabolism, remains so elusive more than eighty years after its discovery.
