  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. SUPPORT MATERIAL ON THE WEB www oup.com/elliott * All the illustrations are available free for downloading * An introduction to the book by the authors * A detailed description of what's new to this edition (from August 2000) PLUS Student's Solutions Manual Instructor's Solutions Manual (tbc)

  Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is the perfect resource for any student without previous experience in the subject who needs to know its key principles and concepts - whether they are studying biology or biochemistry, biomedical science or nutrition. The book blends the fundamentals of molecular biology and biochemistry with the latest technological advances, including mass spectrometry, RNA interference, X-ray synchrotron radiation, the medical applications of single nucleotide polymorphisms, the development of pluripotent cells with stem cell potential, and the use of protein and DNA databases and their application to the study of disease-causing genes. It gives a contemporary, intellectually stimulating depiction of the field, while always maintaining a wonderful clarity, enriched by carefully layered explanations and vivid illustrations. Its scope, size and presentation make Biochemistry and Molecular Biology the ideal companion as you explore the subject for the first time.Online Resource Centre: The Online Resource Centre features: For registered adopters of the book: * Figures from the book available to download; * A new test bank of questions, with feedback keyed to the book, for use in formative and summative assessment For students: * A library of weblinks cited in the text; * A hyperlinked bibliography of literature articles cited in the text; * An extensive bank of multiple-choice questions for self-directed learning
