Book Overview
This new edition of Elliott and Elliott's popular introductory textbook for biochemistry and molecular biology contains substantial new material and numerous colorful diagrams. To bring the book completely up-to-date, inessential material has been eliminated to allow full coverage of current areas of interest as well as coverage of essential basic material. Areas of molecular biology such as cell signaling, cancer molecular biology, protein targeting, proteasomes, immune system, and eukaryotic gene control are covered fully with a clear student-friendly style, making the book suitable for the most modern courses. New or completely re-written chapters include:
2. Enzymes
3. The structure of proteins
4. The cell membrane--a structure depending only on weak forces
13. Strategies for metabolic control and their applications to carbohydrate and fat metabolism
17. Cellular disposal of unwanted molecules
23. Eukaryotic gene transcription and control
24. Protein synthesis, intracellular transport and degradation
25. How are newly synthesized proteins delivered to their correct destinations?--Protein targeting
26. Cell signaling
27. The immune system
30. Molecular biology of cancer
33. The cytoskeleton, molecular motors and intracellular transport Ideal for first-year life-science students both in the major or taking the course as an ancillary, the book includes a student's solutions manual, an instructor's solutions manual, and an accompanying website where all text illustrations are available for free downloading: www.oup.com/elliott.

One of the most concise introduction to mol. bio. & biochem.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is one of the most concise books I have ever seen on these subjects. Given the ambitious idea of introducing both these subjects in one text book, the authors have done an outstanding job. It is a no nonsense, clearcut book. Most of the necessary concepts are introduced to a decent depth required for appreciation of the subject. Perfect for beginners who don't want fat volumes. Great for preparing for competitive exams like the Subject GRE, especially for engineering or other non-bio students. One of my friends with no background in biology at all wanted to apply for graduate studies in a bio-related field, studied for the Subject test from this book, and cracked it.
Very good introduction into subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Authors has produced very clear introduction into the subject. It has somewhat conversational feeling to it as thgough you are in the class room. Authores indicate emphasis on areas that are critical to know and understand well. applications to Molecular biology is given in every opportunity. Book requires certain knowledge of Chemistry. Although most used concepts are repeated for clarification, still certain knowledge is assumed.Without good understanding of Organic Chemistry this book becames buch of diagrams with no meaning. Certainly a must read book paralel to Cell biology to understand the biochemistry going on in the cell.
New for High School Biochemistry classes
