Laboratory Manual for Biochemistry

The NEW second edition of Sinton's Laboratory Manual for Biochemistry represents a complete update and revision from the first edition, including many new exercises. In response to the increased importance of NMR and food in biochemistry, for example, several new exercises have been added: amino acid pK₂, determination via protein NMR, solution carbohydrate identification via carbon NMR, and explorations of food carbohydrate and fat content. And while the original catalase purification scheme and associated activity studies remain (all-be-it updated), an entirely new Russet potato tyrosinase purification scheme and activity studies have been added.  The inclusion of the second enzyme exercises will allow faculty to choose the enzyme exercises that best suit the duration of their lab period and available equipment.  In addition to the new activities, all of the art work from the first edition has been updated, as well as the appendix and faculty manual.
