Biography
David Hames, Nigel Hooper
“As part of the Instant Note series, ranging from topics on plant biology, bioinformatics and medicinal chemistry, the notes satiate the intellectual thirst by serving up bite-sized chunks of synopsized biochemistry.
…these notes could make the difference between an average degree and a very good degree. In a market where notes series abound, this one raises its polar headgroup above the membranous parapet and stands out as essential reading for the biochemistry undergraduate.”
The Biochemist, July 2012
