  • About the Editor
    • Presents an integrated approach covering both biochemistry and molecular biology.
    • This book contains information on the human body, its genome, and the action of muscles, eyes, and the brain.
    • This book is designed to serve as a comprehensive guide for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in molecular biology and biotechnology.

Emerging knowledge in the fields of genetics, molecular biology and ecology impacts the human society and all over the planet. Studying biosciences develop the skills to advance human knowledge and understanding, allowing you to make a contribution in environments as varied as a laboratory, zoo, classroom, TV studio, or in industry. Studying biosciences opens the doors to a diverse range of careers in research institutions, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, graduate entry to medicine or dentistry, physiotherapy, teaching, science communication, and a host of non-science careers. In recent years huge advances have been made in our understanding of gene structure and expression and in the application of techniques such as mass spectrometry to the study of protein structure and function. The Human Genome Project in particular has been the stimulus for major developments in our understanding of many human diseases especially cancer and for the identification of strategies that might be used to combat these diseases. The discipline of molecular biology overlaps with that of biochemistry and in many respects the aims of the two disciplines complement each other. Molecular biology is focused on the molecular understanding of the processes of replication, transcription and translation of genetic material whereas biochemistry exploits the techniques and findings of molecular biology to advance our understanding of such cellular processes as cell signaling and apoptosis.


“Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” is packed with sufficient knowledge of biomolecular structure to understand the determining properties of biological function at the level of cells and the body. This will allow students to understand physiology and physiopathology at the molecular level; the molecular basis of diagnosis, therapeutics, disease prevention and health promotion. It will offer the basic structures and functions of cells in the human body, applying biomedical concepts and terminology.
This new edition integrates the theoretical principles, and experimental techniques common to all undergraduate courses in the bio- and medical sciences. This volume equips students with basic theoretical and practical knowledge of the principal methodologies and techniques for investigation of biomolecules; operation, potential and limitations and selected personal experiences of laboratory work. Understand the theoretical and practical bases of biochemistry as applied to the investigation and measurement of cell functions.
