Book description

This is a new and expanded edition of the bestselling Principles and Techniques of Practical Biochemistry. It includes discussion of the theoretical principles, practical details and applications of the key experimental techniques that are routinely used in modern biochemistry and molecular biology, including those that have led to the emergence of the new disciplines of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics. All chapters have been updated and new sections added to cover the principles of experimental design, the statistical analysis of quantitative analytical data, and the principles and practice of clinical biochemistry. here are new chapters covering cell culture, microscopy and mass spectrometry. To enhance student understanding of each topic, in-text worked examples are included in each chapter. The textbook will be essential reading for all bioscience students and pre-clinical medical students.

Reviews

From the reviews of the previous editions:‘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.’

Source: Annals of Clinical Biochemistry

‘The book is well illustrated, indexed, free of errors and most chapters have problem sets with worked answers. The book is written for ‘all bioscience undergraduate students and pre-medical students for whom practical biochemistry, molecular biology and immunology for part of the syllabus’ … it is a very good supplement for undergraduate courses in general biochemistry or a text for courses in biochemical techniques. Principles and Techniques of Practical Biochemistry is also recommended for graduate students and other researchers in applied sciences such as food biochemistry.’
