The series, Molecular and Cell Biochemistry, covers the whole of modern biochemistry, integrating animal, plant and microbial topics. The intention is to give the series special appeal to the many students who read biochemistry for only part of their course and who are looking for an all-encompassing and stimulating approach. Although all books in the series bear a distinct family likeness, each stands on its own as an independent text.
Many students, particularly those with less numerate backgrounds, find elements of their biochemistry courses daunting, and one of our principal concerns is to offer books which present the facts in a palatable style. Each chapter is prefaced by a list of learning objectives, with short summaries and revision aids at the ends of chapters.
