Biochemistry and Biochemists: Who Were They and What Did They Discover?
The book Biochemistry and Biochemists: Who Were They and What did they Discover is an series of twenty five reviews regarding the top twenty five biochemists of the last two hundred years. The book chronicles the work and discoveries of research scientists from various parts of the world (Severo Ochoa of Spain, John Earnest Walker of Great Britain, Luis Leloir of France, Jens Skou of Denmark as well Masayusa Nomura of Japan). Some of these biochemists did foundational work (Albert Szent-Gyorgy in the realm of vitamin C ) and others did exemplary work into some of the most important realms of their time ( such as Dorothy Hodgkin and her explorations into the structures of penicillin and insul...
Biochemists' Song Book
This songbook presents information on biochemical pathways set to well-known songs, providing students with an easy way to remember often complicated information. The songs should also serve as end-of-term review material.
Cell Culture for Biochemists
This 2nd revised edition equals the popular 1st edition in providing a clear and detailed overview of cell culture. It presents information on: characteristics of cultured cells; culture vessels; glassware preparation and sterilisation techniques; subculturing; primary cells; cell culture media; techniques; contamination; the cell cycle; cell synchronisation; use of radioactive isotopes in cell culture; cell mutants and cell hybrids; viruses; and differentiation in cell cultures.Reviews on the 1st edition: ``.. the book provides an excellent insight into the way cell culture techniques can be employed in the analytical study of cellular biology.'' - Trends in Biochemical Sciences ``It is well written in a concise, easy-to-read style which stimulates the interest of the reader....'' - Science Tools ``A useful handbook on principles and practice.'' - Immunology Today
A Skeptical Biochemist
An eminent pioneer of modern protein chemistry, Fruton (biochemistry emeritus, Yale U.) looks back on six decades in biochemical research and education to advance stimulating thoughts about science--how it is practical, how it is explained, and how its history is written.

Statistical Thermodynamics for Chemists and Biochemists
This book was planned and written with one central goal in mind: to demonstrate that statistical thermodynamics can be used successfully by a broad group of scientists, ranging from chemists through biochemists to biologists, who are not and do not intend to become specialists in statistical thermodynamics. The book is addressed mainly to gradu ate students and research scientists interested in designing experiments the results of which may be interpreted at the molecular level, or in interpreting such experimental results. It is not addressed to those who intend to practice statistical thermodynamics per se. With this goal in mind, I have expended a great deal of effort to make the book cle...
Principles and Problems in Physical Chemistry for Biochemists
What use is physical chemistry to the student of biochemistry and biology? This central question is answered in this book mainly through the use of worked examples and problems. The text is brief and concise. It starts by introducing the laws of thermodynamics, and then uses these laws to derive the equations relevant to the student in dealing with chemical equilibria (including the binding of small molecules to proteins), properties of solutions, acids and bases, and oxidation-reduction processes. The student is thus shown how a knowledge of thermodynamic qualities makes it possible to predict whether, and how, a reaction will proceed. Thermodynamics, however, gives no information about how...
Basic Mathematics for Biochemists
Some teachers of biochemistry think it positively beneficial for students to struggle with difficult mathematics. I do not number myself among these people, although I have derived much personal pleasure from the study of mathematics and from applying it to problems that interest me in biochemistry. On the contrary, I think that students choose courses in biochemistry out of interest in biochemistry and that they should not be encumbered with more mathematics than is absolutely required for a proper understanding of biochemistry. This of course includes physical chemistry, because a biochemist ignorant of physical chemistry is no biochemist. I have been guided by these beliefs in writing thi...
