Encyclopedia of Biological Chemistry addresses the fundamental
discipline of biological chemistry underlying virtually all of the life sciences. This compilation of more than 500 different entries
encompasses all aspects of biochemistry, as well as the extensions of this subject into the related fields of molecular biology, cell
biology, genetics and biophysics. This comprehensive encyclopedia covers all areas of biological chemistry written by more than 500
selected international experts. Articles are generously illustrated including more than 800 images in four-color. Each entry contains
a clear, concise review of the topic along with illustrations, a glossary of technical terms and a section for additional reading.
Each entry further contains general background and term definitions as well as a comprehensive review of the current research in the
field. Students, science journalists and scientists seeking a concise introduction to specific topics will appreciate the clear, tabular
format of each entry.
