| Summary |
A carefully focused textbook of biochemistry and molecular biology, which is perfect for all science, bioscience and health science students meeting this subject for the first time.
Reflects the latest understanding of topics and principles from across the discipline, providing a comprehensive text, but with excessive detail eliminated, so that students will find a conceptual approach that is intellectually satisfying.
Widely-praised writing style combines an approachable narrative with lots of explanation to promote understanding.
Biological context is provided throughout so students can appreciate the relevance to life of the molecular concepts introduced.
Extensive cross-referencing between chapters facilitates their use in any order.
Online Resource Centre features additional resources for both lecturers and students.
New to this edition
New chapter on the RNA world, micro RNA genes, and RNA interference reflects major advances in our understanding of this field.
New Part 5, Molecular Biology in Health and Disease, gives a new focus to this section of the book.
More boxes throughout, particularly to relate the concepts presented to human health and disease.
Enhanced artwork and refreshed page design make the book even more reader-friendly.
Extended Online Resource Centre, now featuring a testbank of questions for lecturers, and an online quiz for students.
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is the perfect resource for any student without previous experience in the subject who needs to know its key principles and concepts - whether they are studying biology or biochemistry, biomedical science or nutrition.
The book blends the fundamentals of molecular biology and biochemistry with the latest technological advances, including mass spectrometry, RNA interference, X-ray synchrotron radiation, the medical applications of single nucleotide polymorphisms, the development of pluripotent cells with stem cell potential, and the use of protein and DNA databases and their application to the study of disease-causing genes.
It gives a contemporary, intellectually stimulating depiction of the field, while always maintaining a wonderful clarity, enriched by carefully layered explanations and vivid illustrations. Its scope, size and presentation make Biochemistry and Molecular Biology the ideal companion as you explore the subject for the first time.
