EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
This handbook is a practical guide to the principles of quantitative analysis in biological experiments. The material is primarily aimed at working molecular biologists, but the scope and clarity of presentation make it equally suitable as an introduction for students. Topics covered range from the basics such as measuring the concentrations of macromolecules through considerations of binding constants and the kinetics of molecular interactions, and ends with a consideration of data analysis.

A Practical Guide to Quantitative Analysis in Biological Experiments  
In the first sentence this books says: 'seeing is believing but measuring is knowing.' And that's a pretty good summation of the book with is generally concerned with making quantitative measurements of biological binding reactions. It is intended to provide a resource or teaching tool that explains quantitative measurements in a manner that can easily be applied to experimental research, classroom teaching and/or understanding the work of other scientists.

Having said that, it is important to also say that this is not a book of 'cookbook' experiments for a student. Instead it is a discussion of the types of experiments that might be run, and even more important on the analysis of the data obtained so that the experimental results can be clearly understood.

A companion web site kinetics.cshl.edu goes with the book and compliments the material presented in the book. The web site also has a collection of Web-based simulations that can be manipulated to visualize important concepts presented in the chapters. They afford a better understanding of binding and rate curves and fitting data.
