Description: Discover the fascinating world of biofluorescence with"Aglow in the Dark: The Revolutionary Science of Biofluorescence".This hardcover book, written by Vincent Pieribone, David F Gruber, and SylviaNasar (Foreword by), explores the topic of science and life sciences. In the early 1960s, in a small shack on the Washingtoncoast, a young, self-educated Japanese scientist performed an experiment todetermine what made a certain jellyfish glow. The substance he discovered,green fluorescent protein, would revolutionize molecular biology, transformingour study of everything from the AIDS virus to the workings of the brain."Aglow in the Dark" follows the path that took this glowing compoundfrom its inauspicious arrival on the scientific scene to its present-dayeminence as one of the most groundbreaking discoveries of the 20th century. Great book that was picked up when retired from a sciencelibrary. No writing noted except for a word on the title page and library stampand the library ID sticker on the side. Helping a friend reduce his pastoral library and put somemoney back in his pocket! Pricing was left to me, so often it was my best guesssince most are not listed on eBay previously. If there are numerous books youare interested in, offers are welcome and we can work something out. For now, I have no returns. Sorry for that. Thanks forlooking!
