The Library has recently added the Encyclopedia of Biological Chemistry (second edition) to the ebook collections. The 4-volume reference work represents the current state of a dynamic and crucial field of study.  The Encyclopedia pulls together over 500 articles that help define and explore contemporary biochemistry. Each article provides an up-to-date snapshot of a given topic, written by experts, as well as suggestions for further readings for students and researchers wishing to go into greater depth.

Of interest to the MSK community – Marilyn Resh, PhD, researcher in the Cell Biology Program contributed a chapter to this text entitled “Lipid Modification of Proteins: Targeting to Membranes” (p. 736-40).

This reference work is available online with the functionality of linking to referenced articles, electronic searching, as well an online index and glossary.
