Text clean and bright, binding tight, only flaw is a blank bookplate from a chemical company pasted on the front free endpaper." An excellent experimental guide to molecular biology, offering detailed protocols ranging from chemical to microbiological methods. The format is sufficiently versatile to serve either a short workshop or a full academic year biochemistry laboratory. Each of the 25 experiments included is presented in a chapter with background information, a list of materials the experimenter will encounter, a detailed protocol, information needed to interpret and discuss the result.
