Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry 28e 2009

The authors and publisher are pleased to present the twentyeighth edition of Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry. This edition features for the first time multiple color images, many entirely new, that vividly emphasize the ever-increasing complexity of biochemical knowledge. The cover picture of green fluorescent protein (GFP), which recognizes the award of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Martin Chalfie, Roger Y. Tsien, and Osamu Shimomura, reflects the book's emphasis on new developments. Together with its derivatives, GFP fulfills an ever-widening role in tracking protein movement in intact cells and tissues, and has multiple applications to cell biology, biochemistry and medicine.
