"Molecular Biology continues to make significant progress towards understanding the fundamental molecular events that are at the core of all life. Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes in living organisms. It deals with the structures and functions of cellular components such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and other biomolecules. Among the vast number of different biomolecules, many are complex and large molecules, which are composed of similar repeating subunits. Transcription of DNA is dictated by its structure. In general, the density of its packing is indicative of the frequency of transcription. Octameric protein complexes called histones are responsible for the amount of supercoiling of DNA, and these complexes can be temporarily modified by processes such as phosphorylation or more permanently modified by processes such as methylation. This book has been written to provide a source book of technical information on a number of experiments routinely performed by the biology, biotechnology and agriculture graduate and post graduate students in practical classes. The manual would be useful not only for students but also for teachers and researchers as a handy and easy to understand experimental."--Back cover
