Two University of Leeds professors summarize the key information students must know about amino acids, proteins, enzymes, biomembranes, DNA structure and replications, RNA synthesis and processing, recombinant DNA technology, and carbohydrate, lipid, and nitrogen metabolism. Previously published in 2000 as Instant notes, the third edition adds sections on cytoskeleton, molecular motors, cell imaging, and signal transduction.
