Now in its sixth edition, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology provides the perfect balance between detail and conceptual understanding. Maintaining the much-praised clarity of previous editions, this edition incorporates both new techniques and pivotal discoveries in a succinct, easy-to-digest way, using updated figures and diagrams to help explain complex processes.

Updated content on the control of gene expression reflects the increasing emphasis on gene regulation in contemporary research, and incorporates up-to-date discussions of recent developments. Chapter summaries are logically laid out, forming bulleted lists which provide students with a consolidation of difficult concepts and progressively guide them through the specifics whilst keeping the big picture in mind. Additional ‘find out more’ sections provide helpful problem-solving support and the further reading is divided into types to cater for broader learning needs.
