This is a wonderful time in biochemistry. Recombinant DNA technol-ogy, protein chemistry, and structural biology have come together to reveal the molecular mechanisms of fundamental biological processes. Many of our dreams of only a few years ago have been fulfilled. One of the fruits of this...

PREFACE to the Third Edition Biochemistry has been profoundly transformed by recombinant DNA technology. The genome is now an open book—any passage can be read. The cloning and sequencing of millions of bases of DNA have greatly enriched our understanding of genes and proteins. Indeed,...
