Biochemistry
About this book
Biochemistry is a major new textbook designed and created specifically for briefer courses in the subject. Written by Prof. Terry Brown of the University of Manchester (author of Genomes and Gene Cloning), the book provides the necessary detail and rigour expected for these courses, but without the extraneous material found in the larger textbooks.
With an increasing number of students taking a short course in biochemistry there is a growing need for a book that covers the subject concisely and succinctly.
Biochemistry has been designed from the outset for these shorter courses; it is not a cut-down version of one of the larger books that dominate the market.
Although it is shorter, there is no compromise in content, style and coverage. The book is attractively designed in full colour throughout with all the pedagogical features expected in a major textbook. It covers what students should be expected to know and is written in the clear and accurate writing style for which Terry Brown is widely lauded.
With its competitive price and resources for adopting lecturers (all of the illustrations and diagrams from the book, and answers to the end of chapter questions), Biochemistry will become the textbook of choice for any brief biochemistry course.

What
methods
might
be
used
to
identify
those
parts
of
a
transmembrane
protein
that
are
exposed
on
the
outer
surface
of
the
plasma
membrane
of
an
animal
cell?
5.
The
MAP
kinase
cascade
is
an
example
of
a
biochemical
pathway
in
which
phosphorylation
is
used
to
change
the
activity
of
a
protein.
Phosphorylation
is
also
used
to
regulate
protein
activity
in
other
contexts,
especially
in
the
regulation
of
enzymes
in
metabolic
pathways
such
as
glycolysis.
Usually,
the
amino
acid
that
is
phosphorylated
is
one
of
serine,
threonine,
tyrosine
or
histidine.
Explain
why
addition
of
a
phosphate
group
to
one
of
these
amino
acids
can
have
a
significant
effect
on
the
activity
of
a
protein.
