From the Back Cover
One of the exciting aspects of being involved in the field of molecular biology is the ever-accelerating rate of progress, both in the development of new methodologies and the practical applications of these methodologies. This popular textbook has been completely revised and updated to provide a comprehensive overview and to reflect all the latest developments in this rapidly expanding area. Chapters on the impact of molecular biology in the development of biotechnology have been fully updated and include the applications of molecular biology in the areas of drug design and diseases. The first six chapters deal with the technology used in current molecular biology and biotechnology. These primarily deal with core nucleic acid techniques and protein expression through microbial and genetic detection methods. Further chapters address the huge advances made in gene and genome analysis and updates the rapid advances into yeast analysis, which is providing very exciting insights into molecular pathways. There are also completely new chapters in developing areas such as genome technology, nanobiotechnology, regenerative medicine and biofuels. In addition, the authors continue to ensure that biotechnology is not just considered at the gene level and full consideration continues to be given to applications and manufacturing, with chapters on downstream processing, biosensors, the applications of immobilised biocatalysts, and a new chapter on the developing area of biofuels. By presenting information in an easily assimilated form, this book makes an ideal undergraduate text. Molecular Biology and Biotechnology 5th Edition will be of particular interest to students of biology and chemistry, as well as to postgraduates and other scientific workers who need a sound introduction to this ever rapidly advancing and expanding area.
