Calculations for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology: A Guide to Mathematics in the Laboratory, Second Edition, provides an introduction to the myriad of laboratory calculations used in molecular biology and biotechnology. The book begins by discussing the use of scientific notation and metric prefixes, which require the use of exponents and an understanding of significant digits. It explains the mathematics involved in making solutions; the characteristics of cell growth; the multiplicity of infection; and the quantification of nucleic acids. It includes chapters that deal with the mathematics involved in the use of radioisotopes in nucleic acid research; the synthesis of oligonucleotides; the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method; and the development of recombinant DNA technology. Protein quantification and the assessment of protein activity are also discussed, along with the centrifugation method and applications of PCR in forensics and paternity testing. - Topics range from basic scientific notations to complex subjects like nucleic acid chemistry and recombinant DNA technology - Each chapter includes a brief explanation of the concept and covers necessary definitions, theory and rationale for each type of calculation - Recent applications of the procedures and computations in clinical, academic, industrial and basic research laboratories are cited throughout the text New to this Edition: - Updated and increased coverage of real time PCR and the mathematics used to measure gene expression - More sample problems in every chapter for readers to practice concepts

This textbook, Material Balance and Process Calculations, has been carefully written to teach you important topics in material balance and process calculations by explaining them with a mindset to fully equip you in the topics. Whether you want this book for general studies of these topics or you want this book to study for an exam, you will find it a very useful tool.This textbook is a mass balance teacher which is suitable for students in universities and students in colleges. It will also serve as a useful tool for direct entry students who are preparing for entrance examinations into colleges and universities. This book is not only for engineering students but also for chemistry students or any student who is offering a course in chemistry.The step by step explanations presented in the worked examples are easy to understand since care was taken to sufficiently explain salient points and process ideas. Efforts have been made to achieve a complete and simplified explanation of every example given in this textbook. Many worked examples have been included in each topic in order to fully cover every complexity the topic might contain. This book will boost your level of understanding of material balance and process calculations. Numerous exercises at the end of each chapter are intended to test students' understanding of the topic. Therefore students are thus presented with an effective means of self-assessment whereby they can determine their individual strengths and revision needs.The topics covered in this eBook include:
This Laboratory Manual is designed to accompany the texts, Fundamentals of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, 2nd Edition and Elements of General and Biological Chemistry, 6th Edition by John R. Holum. It is also appropriate for any one- year course treating a survey of chemistry at this level, and for one-term courses covering the whole spectrum of any part of it. The experiments have been used by students and have been frequently revised following student polls regarding clarity and interest and suggestions from instructors. The questions on the Report and Observation Sheets have again been adjusted in the light of student comments and more room for answers has been provided on many Report Sheets.
Mathematical skills and concepts lie at the heart of chemistry, yet they are the aspect of the subject that many students fear the most. Maths for Chemistry recognizes the challenges faced by many students in equipping themselves with the maths skills necessary to gain a full understanding of chemistry. Working from foundational principles, the book builds the student's confidence by leading them through the subject in a steady, progressive way from basic algebra to quantum mathematics. Opening with the core mathematics of algebra, logarithms and trigonometry, the book goes on to cover calculus, matrices, vectors, complex numbers, and laboratory mathematics to cover everything that a chemistry student needs. With its modular structure, the book presents material in short, manageable sections to keep the content as accessible and readily digestible as possible. Maths for Chemistry is the perfect introduction to the essential mathematical concepts which all chemistry students should master.
