While
biomedical investigation has greatly advanced, investigators have lost
touch with and inadvertently corrupted significant nomenclature at the
foundation of their science. Nowadays, one has to be an insider to even
understand the titles of journals, as modern biochemists have a
tendency to invent new terms to describe old phenomena and apply
acronyms in a haphazard way. In addition, while the use of kits now
saves time, by taking shortcuts, many have lost touch with the
principles that lie behind the processes they employ. Assembled by
Roger Lundblad, the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Compendium
provides both academic and industrial researchers with an
exceptionally accessible resource that offers a plethora of practical
information not found in more database-oriented resources. A renowned
scientist and author who bridges the old school of protein research and
current proteomics, Dr. Lundblad is uniquely qualified to bring forth
this handy resource.
With great respect for the roots of the science, Dr. Lundblad provides a list of commonly used acronyms with definitions, as well as a glossary of terms and subjects used in biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, proteomics, genomics, and systems biology. He also provides a chapter on those chemicals commonly employed in biochemistry and molecular biology, complete with properties and structure drawings, as well as a detailed accounting of protease inhibitors and protease inhibitor cocktails. A list of organic name reactions used in biochemistry is also included, as is a list of buffers with references to specific uses and unwanted side reactions.
Until now, this information could only be garnered from older books and Internet searches convoluted by uncertain nomenclature. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Compendium may not provide all the answers, but researchers will find it to be a valuable tool that will save them time, as well as provide essential links to the roots of their science.
