Over the last few years, the language of Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology has expanded enormously to the extent that few scientists
can expect to be familiar with all the terms and concepts. This is
partly due the massive influence of the Genome and successive
"-omics" projects which have developed in to many new areas of
research. At the same time, terms from other subject areas -
including mathematics, statistics, physics and other life sciences
- appear increasingly in the biochemical literature. The Oxford
Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology provides a
comprehensive and 'encyclopaedic' survey of modern biochemistry and
molecular biology. This new edition of the popular dictionary has
been comprehensively reviewed and updated to include many important
new concepts and words. The entries are short but informative,
providing up-to-date information on a broad range of topics,
including definitions for terms from the fields of Bioinformatics,
Biophysics, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Immunology,
Mathematics, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Systems Biology, and
Toxicology. There are over 21000 main entries, which include:
details of biochemical substances and the processes in which they
are involved, methods and concepts in molecular biology, and
definitions of biochemical symbols and abbreviations. Each entry is
accessibly written. They point out pitfalls where terms are often
confused, and explain the precise syntax of biochemical terms such
as Greek letters and other formatting, which are invariably lost
when searching the Internet. In addition, the dictionary is
generously illustrated with over 900 chemical structures. The
Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will serve
as an invaluable reference text for student and professional
biochemists and molecular biologists seeking information both from
within and outside their own fields. It will also be of relevance
and use to a broader audience of life scientists seeking an
authoritative overview of fundamental principles.
