This book is one of a series of brief fundamental texts for junior under graduates and diploma students in biological science. The series, Molecular and Cell Biochemistry, covers the whole of modern biochemistry, integrating animal, plant and microbial topics. The intention is to give the series special appeal to the many students who read biochemistry for only part of their course and who are looking for an all-encompassing and stimulating approach. Although all books in the series bear a distinct family likeness, each stands on its own as an independent text. Many students, particularly those with less numerate backgrounds, find elements of their biochemistry courses daunting, and one of our principal concerns is to offer books which present the facts in a palatable style. Each chapter is prefaced by a list of learning objectives, with short summaries and revision aids at the ends of chapters. The text itself is informal, and the incorporation of marginal notes and information boxes to accompany the main text give a tutorial flavour, complementing and supporting the main narrative. The marginal notes and boxes relate facts in the text to applicable examples in everyday life, in industry, in other life sciences and in medicine, and provide a variety of other educational devices to assist, support, and reinforce learning. References are annotated to guide students towards effective and relevant additional reading.
