OXFORD DICTIONARY OF Biochemistry and Molecular Biology REVISED EDITION

As predicted in the first edition, the influence of the Internet has expanded. Instead of searching for information in libraries, students now usually go first to a search engine. So, does such a dictionary have a role in the age of Google? In fact it has gained in sales and popularity. Evidently it fills a need for a source of reliable information that is not always so easy to find. A revised version of the dictionary, with some additions and corrections was printed in 2000. At that time, the need for a complete revision was apparent. The work continued with a new team, recruited by the ever-enthusiastic Peter Campbell. We deeply regret that he did not live to see the completion of this task, having died on February 8th 2005 from complications after an accident. In order to keep the dictionary as a handy reference volume, we have endeavoured to avoid it becoming much heavier. It is only by being selective that there are only about 20% more entries than the first edition. Most of the appendices have been removed, or their useful parts transferred. The listed Nobel prizewinners in biochemistry and molecular biology have been omitted except for eponymous entries, when they have lent their names to compounds or procedures. There has been a judicious removal of some older terms, though we found that surprisingly few have disappeared from the literature to such an extent that they are obsolete. The dictionary is not intended to be a nomenclature document, and the terms that are in the entries are generally those that are in common use. We continue the practice of pointing the reader in the direction of recommended terminology and nomenclature. Nomenclature rules are applied less prescriptively these days; ‘recommended’ chemical nomenclature has become ‘preferred’; ‘recommended names’ for enzymes have given way to ‘common names’.
