Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A major update of the highly popular second edition, with changes in the content and organization that reflect advances in the subject. As with the first two editions, the third edition of Instant Notes in Biochemistryprovides the essential facts of biochemistry with detailed explanations and clear illustrations. It also includes new and expanded topics such as cytoskeleton, molecular motors, bioimaging, biomembranes, cell signalling, protein structure and enzymes regulation.

First published in 1997 under title: Instant notes in biochemistry.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 405-411) and index.
