Experiments in Biochemistry : A Hands-on Approach
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
EXPERIMENTS IN BIOCHEMISTRY: A HANDS-ON APPROACH, Second Edition features a variety of hands-on, classroom tested experiments that are proven to work and can be completed in a normal lab period. The manual's stand-alone experiments are effective in courses meeting only once a week, giving students a broad overview of the subject matter. A more comprehensive set of experiments is also available and allows students to delve further into each of the topics presented. The Second Edition also features new and revised experiments, including a new experiment that involves cloning the barracuda LDH gene! Students and professors will also find expanded problem sets in this edition. "Tip" boxes, located throughout the text, provide pointers to students on how to perform the experiment at hand, while "Essential Information" boxes highlight pertinent information that will help the student complete the experiment. The second edition continues to include references and further readings at the end of each chapter.
About the Author
Shawn Farrell, a native of Northern California, received his B.S. in Biochemistry from UC Davis, while studying carbohydrate metabolism. He completed his Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Michigan State University where he studied fatty acid metabolism. Dr. Farrell became interested in Biochemistry while in college, as it was relevant to his passion for bicycle racing. He raced competitively for 15 years and now officiates bicycle races worldwide. He has worked at Colorado State University for the last 16 years teaching undergraduate biochemistry lecture and laboratory courses. Dr. Farrell has written scientific journal articles about specific research projects and about laboratory teaching, as well as articles for lay publications, such as SALMON, TROUT AND STEELHEADER magazine. He is the co-author of BIOCHEMISTRY, Fourth Edition, with Mary Campbell (published by Brooks/Cole). Lynn Taylor grew up in Minnesota and received her B.A. in Genetics from UC Berkeley. As a research assistant, she studied galactose oxidation in liver at Michigan State University, and cyctochrome c oxidase expression in yeast at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Ms. Taylor's interest in molecular biology led her to Colorado State University, where she obtained her M.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. She has spent 15 years investigating the regulation and expression of key regulatory enzymes involved in maintaining acid-base balance in the kidney, and currently holds the position of senior research associate.
