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 CellBiochemistry, coversthewholeofmodernbiochemistry, integrating animal, plantand 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. Althoughallbooksintheseriesbearadistinctfamilylikeness,each standson itsownasan 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 chapteris prefaced bya listoflearningobjectives, with shortsummariesand 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.

Rezension zu „Biological Molecules “
`Smith and Wood have provided an excellent introduction ... overall the book is too good a text to be read solely by students. From someone who confesses to a slight aversion to life sciences' biochemical/molecular dimension, this is praise indeed.' Jonathan Cowie in The Biologist `I found it easy to read and I could see its potential as an accessible text for junior undergraduates.' TIBS
