Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book consists of two parts that include 17 chapters prepared by an international team of well_ known experts. … The book is well prepared. There are many good quality photos, graphs, and pictures. Each chapter ends with a base reference, and there is a subject index at the end of the book. … very useful for many researchers in the field of biochemistry, biotechnology, immunology, and medicinal chemistry. This book can also be a useful tool for teachers and students of colleges and universities.” (G. Ya. Wiederschain, Biochemistry, Vol. 76 (5), May, 2011)Editors and Affiliations
