Methodologies and databases for biochemistry and molecular biology are included in this easy-to-use laboratory reference. Its logical presentation enables the reader to quickly and conveniently locate the information relevant to his or her needs. Featured are tables containing data on amino acids, proteins, nucleosides, nucleotides, and nucleic acids. Also featured are lipids and physical chemical data. Edited by a leading professional in the field, this compact, yet comprehensive bench manual serves as the definitive reference source for your laboratory.

Edited by renowned protein scientist and bestselling author Roger L. Lundblad, with the assistance of Fiona M. Macdonald of CRC Press, this fifth edition of the Handbook of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology gathers a wealth of information not easily obtained, including information not found on the web. Presented in an organized, concise, and simple-to-use format, this popular reference allows quick access to the most frequently used data. Covering a wide range of topics, from classical biochemistry to proteomics and genomics, it also details the properties of commonly used biochemicals, laboratory solvents, and reagents. An entirely new section on Chemical Biology and Drug Design gathers data on amino acid antagonists, click chemistry, plus glossaries for computational drug design and medicinal chemistry. Each table is exhaustively referenced, giving the user a quick entry point into the primary literature. New tables for this edition: Chromatographic methods and solvents Protein spectroscopy Partial volumes of amino acids Matrix Metalloproteinases Gene Editing Click Chemistry

A new edition of the popular introductory textbook for biochemistry and molecular biology. * Contains substantial new material * Contains even more of the clear, colour diagrams Completely up to date. Elimination of inessential material has permitted full coverage of the areas of most current interest as well as coverage of essential basic material. Areas of molecular biology such as cell signalling, cancer molecular biology, protein targeting, proteasomes, immune system, eukaryotic gene control are covered fully but still in a clear student friendly style. This makes the book suitable for the most modern type of courses. WHAT'S NEW New or completely re-written chapters - 2. Enzymes 3. The structure of proteins 4. The cell membrane - a structure depending only on weak forces 13. Strategies for metabolic control and their applications to carbohydrate and fat metabolism 17. Cellular disposal of unwanted molecules 23. Eukaryotic gene transcription and control 24. Protein synthesis, intracellular transport and degradation 25. How are newly synthesised proteins delivered to their correct destinations? - Protein targeting 26. Cell signalling 27. The immune system 30. Molecular biology of cancer 33. The cytoskeleton, molecular motors and intracellular transport There are also several major insertions of new material, and minor editing to the rest of the book.

Recent advances in the biosciences have led to a range of powerful new technologies, particularly nucleic acid, protein and cell-based methodologies. The most recent insights have come to affect how scientists investigate and define cellular processes at the molecular level. This book expands upon the techniques included in the first edition, providing theory, outlines of practical procedures, and applications for a range of techniques. Written by a well-established panel of research scientists, the book provides an up-to-date collection of methods used regularly in the authors’ own research programs.

Published in 1975: This volume contains the completed section of the Handbook of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with data pertaining to Lipids, Carbohydrates, and Steroids.
