Synopsis

The importance of computer applications in the biological sciences has grown dramatically and continues to increase at a rapid rate. Biochemistry represents one of the most active areas in which this technology has been put to use, and this volume provides a diverse selection of some of the most successful and popular applications. This guide contains detailed coverage of topics such as programming languages, expert systems, networking, nucleic acid and protein sequence management, and productivity tools. This lucid work distils vast experience of this important field into an easily accessible form. It will appeal to novices wishing to enter this developing area, as well as experienced users interested in more specialized applications.

About this title

Review

'This book, a member of the highly acclaimed series of Practical Approach monographs published by IRL Press at Oxford University Press, joins a select company of books on this rapidly developing subject; it meets contemporary standards and extends the traditional approach in handling and manipulating biochemical data including DNA and protein sequence management. This is a superb text ... The subject matter and specific examples have been well-chosen. The novice cannot fail to be stimulated into developing their computational expertise on reading this book while the established scientist will surely appreciate the quality of the text. This would be a welcome addition to any bookshelf and is highly recommended.' C. Mitchell and E. El-Mansi, British Journal of Social Work, Vol. 8, No. 4, 1992 'This is a fairly comperehensive guide for those seeking to use computer techniques in biochemical analysis and research. It provides relevant information on hardware and software.' Aslib Book Guide, Vol. 57, No. 8, August 1992 'I can see 'Microcomputers in Biochemistry' becoming extremely valuable especially, as I have said, to new post-graduates, and to novices to this business. The editor has done a good job in selecting knowledgeable chapter authors who for the most part have good writing styles.' E.J. Wood, Biochemical Education 20(3) 1992
