Product Description

Review

...this book is a most impressive achievement which must become an essential volume in every departmental library and on the bookshelf of every research team. Athel Cornish-Bowden, Marseilles, Biochemist e-volution, October 2006

...a highly impressive piece of work providing the reader with a wealth of information...I have no doubt that it will prove to be a vital tool for students or professional scientists. (Dr Kevin Coward, Journal of Biological Education, Vol. 41(4) )

Product Description

Over the last few years, the language of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has expanded enormously to the extent that few scientists can expect to be familiar with all the terms and concepts. This is partly due the massive influence of the Genome and successive "-omics" projects which have developed in to many new areas of research. At the same time, terms from other subject areas - including mathematics, statistics, physics and other life sciences - appear increasingly in the biochemical literature. The Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology provides a comprehensive and 'encyclopaedic' survey of modern biochemistry and molecular biology. This new edition of the popular dictionary has been comprehensively reviewed and updated to include many important new concepts and words. The entries are short but informative, providing up-to-date information on a broad range of topics, including definitions for terms from the fields of Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Immunology, Mathematics, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Systems Biology, and Toxicology. There are over 21000 main entries, which include: details of biochemical substances and the processes in which they are involved, methods and concepts in molecular biology, and definitions of biochemical symbols and abbreviations. Each entry is accessibly written. They point out pitfalls where terms are often confused, and explain the precise syntax of biochemical terms such as Greek letters and other formatting, which are invariably lost when searching the Internet. In addition, the dictionary is generously illustrated with over 900 chemical structures. The Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will serve as an invaluable reference text for student and professional biochemists and molecular biologists seeking information both from within and outside their own fields. It will also be of relevance and use to a broader audience of life scientists seeking an authoritative overview of fundamental principles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable aid to the study of molecular biology!, 18 Jun 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Hardcover)

From the novice undergraduate to the expert researcher, this book is a great at giving precise definitions of almost all the terms you will encouter in biochemisrty and molecular biology. Simply explained, the definitions are also great for jogging the memory if some topics have become a bit rusty. The most useful resource book I have bought..a scientist's dream dictionary!I'd definitely recommend it for anyone involved in Biochemistry and its various disciplines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes molecular, development and biochemical biology easy, 18 Jan 2006

By A Customer

This review is from: Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Hardcover)

I would have been lost without this book. I used it so much during my biology degree that the spine has fallen apart. It was great for short definitions, like what are PH domains or how does the Complement cascade work, or what DAG-lipase does. It also gives a list of all Restriction Enzymes, current database URLs for DNA/ protein sequences. It explained the most complex protein interactions with clarity and precision. It is better than any other text book and covers biomedical, biochemical, biophysical definitions. I would not have got a first class honours degree without it.

If the publishers read this, I am waiting for the next edition to come out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it., 4 Mar 2005

By	Ingrid - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Hardcover)

One of my lecturers once told me that molecular biology really isn't that difficult, it's a language that you need to learn. As an undergraduat student of molecular biology this book is the one I use the most. It gives clear, concise and understandable explanations to most of the terms that has me puzzeled. Extremely useful!
