Basic Biochemical Laboratory Procedures and Computing: With Principles, Review Questions, Worked Examples, and Spreadsheet Solutions

This book reviews the theoretical basis for many biophysical chemistry techniques commonly used in the biochemistry laboratory, and emphasizes the usefulness of computer spreadsheets in solving quantitative problems related to these methods.
Provides theoretical background for some widely used biomolecular calculations and several modern research procedures. It also provides worked examples and spreadsheet templates of numerous biomolecular calculations. The approach taken is multidisciplinary. Thus, some topics discussed may be found in textbooks of biology, general chemistry, statistics, or computer science. Other topics discussed may be found in the primary biomedical research journals, annual review publcations and momgraphs. Whenever possible, applications of the topics discussed to recent research in clinical, academic, industrial,and basic research laboratories are pointed out explicitly. Thus Basic Biomedical Laboratory Procedures and Computing provides theoretical background and spreadsheet solutions in selected areas of the contemporary biomedical sciences; It also feflects the thinking, methods, instruments and experimental strategies of today's practising biomedical scientists
