Kurzbeschreibung
Bioanalytical Chemistry for Life and Health Sciences: Principles and Applications is a single core textbook, with supplementary learning materials, which provides a novel teaching and learning resource for tutors and students of first year undergraduate chemistry. The book describes basic principles, terminology, and core technologies, which include modern experimental techniques and equipment used to analyse important biomolecules in diagnostic, industrial, and research laboratory settings. It also provides an introduction to advanced technologies used in the emerging fields of genomics, peptidomics/proteomics, and metabolomics.
Das Grundlehrbuch der Bioanalytik für Erstsemester erklärt Begriffe, Kernkonzepte und wichtige Techniken, sinnvoll ergänzt durch Lernmaterialien. Zu den Schwerpunkten gehören moderne experimentelle Methoden und Geräte zur Analytik von Biomolekülen in der Diagnostik, in der Industrie und in Forschungslabors. Außerdem führen die Autoren kurz in die fortgeschrittenen Verfahren ein, die in der Genomik, Peptidomik/Proteomik und Metabolomik gebraucht werden.
