Many biochemistry lab instructors are now opting to either design their own experiments or select them from major educational journals.Biochemistry Laboratory: Modern Theory and Techniques addresses this issue by providing a flexible alternative without experimental protocols. Instead of requiring instructors to use specific experiments, the book focuses on detailed descriptions of modern techniques in experimental biochemistry and discusses the theory behind such techniques in detail. The extensive range of techniques includes internet databases, chromatography, electrophoresis, spectroscopy, measurements of ligand-binding interactions, and recombinant DNA techniques such as molecular cloning and PCR.
