Synopsis

In this new, 5th edition of a highly popular text, undergraduate students are introduced to all the basic experimental techniques routinely used in practical biochemistry today. Most attention is given to techniques students will encounter in their practical classes, with the principles and theories behind them explained in detail to aid understanding. As a further aid to students, essential calculations and worked answers appear at the end of each chapter. 'Key terms to understand' are also included to help students thoroughly review each topic. No contemporary book on modern biochemical techniques would be complete without chapters on molecular biology, recombinant DNA technology, genetic analysis and biomolecular interactions, and these topics have been extensively covered in this new edition. The book is essential reading for all bioscience undergraduate students and pre-clinical medical students for whom practical biochemistry, molecular biology and immunology form part of the syllabus.

About this title

Review

'... this book deserves a place in any modern pathology department and brings together a body of information which is traditionally scattered across several texts... it also represents excellent value for money.' Annals of Clinical Biochemistry

'... students and trainees may find it useful as a first source of information on a newly encountered technique.' Annals of Clinical Biochemistry

'It is necessary to have a practical up to date guide to experimental techniques at hand in a laboratory. This book belongs to such kind of texts. It covers all branches of basic as well as advanced techniques. The book represents a fundamental guidebook for work in a laboratory.' Photosynthetica

Book Description

This new edition of a highly popular text introduces experimental techniques which are routinely used in practical biochemistry and molecular biology today.
