1. Principles and Techniques of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Author: by Keith Wilson (Author)

This best-selling undergraduate textbook provides an introduction to key experimental techniques from across the biosciences. It uniquely integrates the theories and practices that drive the fields of biology and medicine, comprehensively covering both the methods students will encounter in lab classes and those that underpin recent advances and discoveries. Its problem-solving approach continues with worked examples that set a challenge and then show students how the challenge is met. New to this edition are case studies, for example, that illustrate the relevance of the principles and techniques to the diagnosis and treatment of individual patients. Coverage is expanded to include a section on stem cells, chapters on immunochemical techniques and spectroscopy techniques, and additional chapters on drug discovery and development, and clinical biochemistry. Experimental design and the statistical analysis of data are emphasised throughout to ensure students are equipped to successfully plan their own experiments and examine the results obtained.

9. The Cell: A Molecular Approach

Author: by Geoffrey M. Cooper (Author), Robert E. Hausman (Author)

Teaching cell biology can be a daunting task because the field is so vast and rapidly moving, characterized by a continual explosion of new information. The challenge is how to teach students the fundamental concepts without becoming bogged down in details. Students need to understand the principles of cell biology and be able to appreciate new advances, rather than just memorizing “the facts” as we see them today. At the same time, the material must be presented in sufficient depth to thoughtfully engage students and provide a sound basis for further studies. The Cell, Seventh Edition, provides a balance of concepts and details that meets the needs of today’s students and their teachers. Written by an active scientist and experienced educator, this textbook combines readability and cohesiveness with comprehensive and up to date science.

In keeping with prior editions, the new seventh edition:

Is ideally suited in length and complexity for sophomore and junior level courses at the undergraduate level.
Can be covered in a single semester. Students can master the material in its entirety, rather than sampling a small fraction from a much larger text.
Is written in an efficient and compact style, covering a broad range of material in a direct and pedagogically approachable manner.
Focuses on the molecular biology of cells as a unifying theme, with topics such as developmental biology, the nervous system, the immune system, and plant biology being discussed as examples of more general principles.
Features “Key Experiment” and “Molecular Medicine” boxes that highlight the experimental nature of molecular and cellular biology and convey the excitement and medical relevance of research in this area.
