Sunil Maulik and Salil D. Patel’s Molecular Biotechnology: Therapeutic
Applications and Strategies (John Wiley, £34.95, ISBN 0 471 11681 5) is a
selective, rather than comprehensive, portfolio for “biotechnology
professionals”. Combinatorial chemistry and immune response engineering are key
ingredients in this cogent, up-to-date dossier of medical uses of recombinant
DNA technology, pegged to the companies responsible.
