Résumé

  • A carefully focused introduction to cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology which is perfect for students taking a first course in this subject.
  • Two entirely new introductory chapters, which provide increased coverage of the fundamentals of cell biology.
  • Extensively expanded coverage of molecular biology which reflects recent advances in bioinformatics, proteomics and genomics, and the latest modern molecular biology techniques.
  • Boxed examples of medical and health-related issues present essential concepts in a human context, whilst biochemical and molecular biological processes are described in the context of the whole body.
  • The third edition has undergone substantial re-structuring to facilitate its use by students with little prior understanding of the subject area.
  • The Online Resource Centre will contain illustrations from the book, Web links, course outlines as PowerPoint slides, checklists of key concepts, discussion points and questions for each chapter, plus answers,

New to this edition

  • Two entirely new introductory chapters, which provide a broad background for readers studying biochemistry and molecular cell biology for the first time. The first introduces the molecules of the living cell, molecular recognition, molecular strategies and origin of life. The second covers the structures of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, cell growth, cell cycle, stem cells, mitosis and meiosis.
  • Extensively revised and extended chapter on 'Manipulating DNA and genes', 'DNA and genomes' incorporating material from the human genome project, and 'Methods in protein investigation' which describes recent advances in this area with a particular emphasis on bioinformatics and proteomics.
  • New part covering Molecular biology and disease which includes expanded coverage of cell cycle control, apoptosis and cancer.

An understanding of biochemistry and molecular cell biology opens the door to an understanding of life itself. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is perfectly suited to opening up this subject to the widest range of students, giving insights into this fascinating area with which every biological and biomedical science student should be familiar.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology takes students from the fundamentals of cell biology and biochemistry to the latest advances in genomics and proteomics, maintaining a wonderful clarity, enriched by carefully layered explanations and vivid illustrations throughout.
