This book is designed to supply research workers in biochemistry and related fields with factual information about the compounds, reagents, and techniques they use most frequently in the laboratory. The material has been selected by practising biochemists and, in this third edition, a wide range of data is clearly displayed in an easily accessible form. Much has been deleted from earlier editions to be replaced by new material of current importance to biochemistry and molecular biology. Functional grouping of compounds has been emphasized to enable users of this book to see what compounds are available as well as find data on specific examples. Now available in paperback, this book provides a clear presentation of the type of information frequently needed in experimental work and is an invaluable laboratory companion for workers in any aspect of biochemistry. `Highly recommended as a standard reference source in biochemical research.' Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry

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 helpful problem-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.
