30-Second Biochemistry presents the subject's 50 most important ideas, breaking down the proteins, carbohydrates and more to explain the science of living organisms.
The successful 30-Second series tackles biochemistry, the science of the chemical processes which underpin the workings of all organic life. 30-Second Biochemistry takes 50 of the most significant ideas relating to the study of the chemical processes connected to living organisms, simplifying each concept using just 300 words and one picture. By using chemical procedures to tackle biological challenges, biochemistry reveals the behaviour of complex molecules and how they combine to form the building blocks of life. Through this book you will gain a clear understanding of a fascinating area of science, embarking on a journey that reveals how new life is created, the path molecules take to develop from microscopic cells into complete organisms and how energy is harvested and harnessed to help organisms function efficiently. Have all the key terms of this fascinating science explained in simple, bitesize chunks of information-rich text, as well as meeting the key figures who have helped make biochemistry what it is today.
This book presents a selection of tried and trusted laboratory experiments in the field of biochemistry. The experiments are described in detail and can be used directly or in a modified form. They are grouped according to a broad range of biochemical disciplines which allows those responsible for arranging practical classes to select experiments to complement any given biochemistry course. Suggestions are made for further work in more advanced classes. As well as the practical method the experiments are accompanied by background information, discussion of results, references for further study and illustrations.
Beginning 19 - each bulletin contains details of curricula, course description, college rules, etc., for one of the schools or colleges at Western Reserve University.
The FEDERATION OF EUROPEAN BIOOHE1IUCAL SOCIETIES, which came into being just over three years ago, will have a profound impact on the development of biochemistry in Europe and in the rest of the world. For this reason, the Council of the INTERNATIONAL UNION OF BIOCHEMISTRY has viewed the growth of the Federation with considerable satis faction. Closer cooperation among European biochemists was set in motion through the initiative of the BIOOHEMICAL SOCIETY several years ago to hold an annual joint meeting with some of its sister societies on the Continent. With considerable foresight the BIOCHEM ICAL SOCIETY eventually proposed the setting up of a federation of biochemical societies in Europe, a proposal that was warmly endorsed by representatives of several Continental societies. The first meeting of the Federation was held in London in the Spring of 1964. I had the privilege to attend the second (Vienna) and third (Warsaw) annual meetings and was much impressed by the rapidly growing attendance and by the quality of the scientific sessions. Upon kind invitation as president of the INTERNATIONAL UNION OF BIOCHEMISTRY I also had the privilege to attend the Federation Council meetings and to participate in the discussions that led to the decision to found a EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF BIOOHEMISTRY, a move that I enthusiastically supported and encouraged on behalf of the INTERNATIONAL UNION OF BIOCHEMISTRY.
