The book starts with an examination of the structure and principal properties of amino-acids and proteins, followed by an introduction to the major principles of enzymology and biochemical energetics. Keeping the student in mind, the author goes on to present the chemical structure and biological activity for each family of molecules simultaneously.? the study of the mechanics of regulation is the subject of the last chapter.this is a basic work in its field which has been regularly updated and new editions brought out. All the chapters of this sixth edition have been revised, but it is the part devoted to the control of gene expression which has been most thoroughly modified.conceived mainly for graduate science students (natural sciences, life sciences, medicine, pharmacy), this book will also be useful for all students who wish to acquire some knowledge of biochemistry. The author, jacques-henry weil, professor of biochemistry at the university louis-pasteur of strasbourg, used the expertise of a team of specialists of various branches of biochemistry in order to present the latest developments of this constantly evolving science. About the author: professor jacques-henry weil has been teaching at the louis-pasteur university in strasbourg, france for almost 26 years. He has also held such varied positions as adviser for biology to the french ministry of national education, member of the europen molecular biology organisation, and president of the international society of plant molecular biology.
