Opis

The ideal text for any bioscience student encountering biochemistry and molecular cell biology for the first time. Exceptionally clear explanations, frequent diagrams, and a user-friendly design and layout ensure that the text provides a perfect introduction to this complex yet fascinating subject area.

Now in its sixth edition, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology provides the perfect balance between detail and conceptual understanding. Maintaining the much-praised clarity of previous editions, this edition incorporates both new techniques and pivotal discoveries in a succinct, easy-to-digest way, using updated figures and diagrams to help explain complex processes.Updated content on the manipulation of DNA and genes reflects the rapid introduction of new methods in contemporary research, and incorporates up-to-date discussions of recent developments such as gene editing. Chapter summaries are logically laid out, forming bulleted lists which provide students with a consolidation of difficult concepts and progressively guide them through the specifics whilst keeping the big picture in mind. Additional 'find out more' sections provide helpfulproblem-solving support and the further reading is divided into types to cater for broader learning needs.With an integrated approach covering both biochemistry and molecular biology, complemented by frequent diagrams and clear explanations, and all presented in a wider cellular context, this text is the perfect introduction for any student new to the subject.Online Resources:The online resources to accompany this text include:For registered adopters of the book:· Figures from the book available to downloadFor students:· Further reading organised by chapter· An extensive bank of multiple-choice questions to support self-directed learning· Links to 3D molecular structures in Protein Data Bank

Recenzje

Easy to read with good use of simple figures and plenty of internal cross-references to other chapters or relevant pages. I was impressed with the inclusion of some very up to date findings. Dr Peter Morris, School of Life Sciences, Heriot-Watt University
