It should be on the shelves of all libraries in the world as a whole collection. --CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRY The appearance of another volume in that excellent series, Methods in Enzymology, is always a cause for appreciation for those who wish to successfully carry out a particular technique or prepare an enzyme or metabolic intermediate without the tiresome prospect of searching through unfamiliar literature and perhaps selecting an unproven method which is not easily reproduced. --AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGY NEWS If we had some way to find the work most often consulted in the laboratory, it could well be the multi-volume series Methods in Enzymology...a great work. --ENZYMOLOGIA A series that has established itself as a definitive reference for biochemists. --JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY Author InformationJoe Sutliff Sanders is professor of English at Kansas State University.
