Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Fundamental Laboratory Approaches for Biochemistry and Biotechnology was written as a biochemistry laboratory text for advanced undergraduate and first year graduate students in biochemistry and other life sciences. Our goal was to provide a logical framework for training students how to approach research problems and conduct and evaluate scientific research. Each chapter provides extensive background on the principles underlying methods used to research, followered by experiments designed to illustrate some of those principles...

We emphasize that research is fun and satisfying. We hope that our love of biochemical research is evident throughout this text and that students might share in the excitement of "doing" modern biochemical and molecular biology research once they have been exposed to the ideas and techniques covered in this text. —From the authors' Preface

This review is from: Fundamental Laboratory Approaches for Biochemistry and Biotechnology (Paperback)

I used this book as a lab manual for my Biochemistry class in college. The book itself is well organized in most respects. However, there are some parts that were well explained in the manual when it came to trying to answer the problems at the end of each experiment. Some of the examples given in the pre-lab didn't apply to the questions being asked so it would lead our class to having to nag the professor for some answers on how to solve the problem. Overall though the techniques employed are relative and effective when it comes to the biochemistry field.
