Cell Biology Editorial Review
Nick Lane's book "Transformer: The Deep Chemistry of Life and Death" is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the origins of life on Earth. The book delves into the deep chemistry of life and death through the lens of metabolism, energy flow, and photosynthesis. Lane simplifies the biochemistry Considerably in his schemes but a reader without a scientific background may find it difficult to penetrate the subject. The book is based on biochemical pathways that are central to the origins and operations of living things. Lane's insights about biochemistry are often dazzling, but the material is dense and may pose a forbidding hurdle to most readers. It is an engaging and ultimately convincing read, although Lane readily admits there are many questions remaining. The reviews are mostly positive, and readers appreciate the simple language Lane uses to explain the complicated scientific subject. It provides a roadmap to understand the biochemical progression of aging, cancer, and other diseases. The sections on the biochemistry of senescence and death are particularly of interest. However, the chemistry is detailed, and the book requires frequent use of the internet to supplement information.
