This is the most up-to-date biology dictionary available. It is the perfect reference source for anyone interested in this dynamic field. The level of and depth of material is exceptional.

The fifth edition of the much-needed Dictionary of Genetics includes over 6,500 definitions of terms and species names relevant to the study of genetics.

As the Human Genome Project continues to generate raw sequence information, the most successful scientists will be those who can provide a biological interpretation of that data. This practical guide helps the molecular biologist design and implement a successful sequence analysis strategy, utilizing the overwhelming array of tools available, including Internet resources.

This manual will give students and professionals a chance to explore the process and techniques of characterizing and purifying a protein and subsequent cloning of the associated gene. Each chapter emphasizes the process of discovery, and the strategies and rationale for each experiment. To minimize cost and avoid extensive laboratory preparation, the experiments in this manual use readily available materials and organisms, the bacterium Escherichia coli and the yeast Saccharomyces carlsbergensis. The experiments not only teach valuable skills, but also demonstrate the research process used in biotechnology laboratories.

A popular benchtop manual has just been updated. This widely used manual, now in its second edition, illustrates the use of recently developed methods with detailed experimental procedures. The experiments are grouped in modules which deal with topics important in modern biochemistry. New to this edition are chapters on water, pH and buffers; and separation of molecules by chromatography. Coverage of recombinant DNA methodology has been expanded.

Volume 29 is devoted solely to important research regarding the biological properties of metal alkyl derivatives.

This book presents a critical assessment of progress on the use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to determine the structure of proteins.

Bioprocessing introduces students to all commercialy available bioprocessing products, and discusses their applications to a variety of specialized industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and waste remediation.

Now available in paperback this Dictionary will save you many frustrating hours of literature-searching, allowing you to turn to its pages for information on any aspect of microbiology. It gives a detailed, comprehensive and interlinked body of information ranging from the classical descriptive aspects of microbiology to current developments in related areas of bioenergetics, biochemistry and molecular biology.

"This edition is revised and enlarged from the 1975 first edition, and some 4,000 new terms have been added. The definitions are succinct, clear, and precise, and evidently carefully considered ... Many more specific compounds are defined ... A commendably large representation of recent terms is to be found." -Journal of American Chemical Society The author notes that he has borrowed extensively from other sciences such as chemistry, immunology, genetics, biophysics and microbiology in his selection of terms incorporated in the Dictionary.

This practical laboratory reference offers straightforward guidelines for applying digital image processing methods to the analysis of electronic light microscope images of fixed and living biological specimens. It covers:

Written for the nonspecialist, this text presents an accessible user-friendly approach to exploring flow cytometry, beginning with the fundamentals of instrumentation, data analysis and interpretation.
