Nuffield Advanced Chemistry (Fourth Edition): Biochemistry
The popular Biochemistry Special Study was revised and updated for the Fourth Edition of Nuffield Advanced Chemistry. All the instructions for experiments, theory and questions were included in the Students’ Book. The Teachers’ and Technicians’ Guide provided the technical information for setting up the practical work together with answers to the questions about the experiments. In addition the web pages of the Re:act web site provided a study guide for each chapter to help students work independently.
