Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

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.
