Biological Chemistry is a fast emerging branch of chemistry, which sets out to understand the molecular basis of life through a rigorous understanding of the detailed structure and behaviour of biomolecules.

Filling a void in the currently available literature, Essentials of Chemical Biology offers a comprehensive introduction to this dynamic area of chemistry, which will equip chemists for the task of understanding and studying the underlying principles behind the functioning of biomolecules.

Hallmark features:

• Covers all the basic concepts and ideas associated with the study of the interface between chemistry and biology 

• Clearly written and richly illustrated, many illustrations in full colour
