This concise text presents the fundamental principles of the most popular and contemporary analytical methods for studying the properties of biological molecules and their interactions. Advanced undergraduates and graduates will find this a valuable source to enhance their understanding of these cutting-edge techniques, used in research across the life sciences. ‘The book by Hofmann et al. is an invaluable tool for students (and even more advanced practitioners) in the field of experimental biochemistry and biophysics. It covers in considerable detail a variety of methods and provides very clear explanation on how they can be applied and what can be learned during the process. The book is very well illustrated and uses relatively simple language, although never oversimplified. Its particular strength is in covering a number of methods in a single volume, making it a great reference.’ Alexander Wlodawer, Macromolecular Crystallography Laboratory, National Cancer Institute, Maryland 2014 247 x 174 mm 250pp 12 b/w illus. 77 colour illus. 22 tables 978-1-107-04470-8 Hardback £82.00 / US$134.00 978-1-107-62276-0 Paperback £30.99 / US$51.00 For all formats available, see

Aaron Klug – A Long Way from Durban A Biography Kenneth C. Holmes Max-Planck-Institut für Medizinische Forschung, Heidelberg
A Nobel prize winner and pioneer of structural molecular biology, Aaron Klug served as Director of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology and President of the Royal Society. Holmes draws on their long-term collaboration, interviews and unique access to Klug’s archives to illuminate both his personal life and significant scientific achievements. Advance praise: ‘This biography highlights both the sense in which Klug was self-made and driven, and the importance of his collaborations, mentors, peers and his own students in shaping the man he became and his intellectual achievements. The biography also offers a fascinating insight into macromolecular scientific discovery while keeping a very human touch throughout. A fitting tribute to a great scientist and role model.’ Max Price, University of Cape Town
