It has a straithtforward double column design, with two coloour illustrations throughout. It inclludes discussion of the pervasive applications of molecular biology in fields such as medicine and diagnostics, it looks at the effect of the law on the development of powerful new techniques such as fingerprinting and polymerase chain reaction, and shows how molecular biologists are able to `engineer` proteins and enzymes for sommercial use in the same way that a designer fahions new products. Chapters explore the latest developments resulting in the creation of transtenic animals and the implications of this for agiculture as well as the monoclonal antibody revolution and the new immunotherapy. * Contents : 1.
