Methods in Enzymology
Encyclopedia
Methods in Enzymology is a series of scientific publications focused primarily on research methods in biochemistry
by Academic Press
, created by Sidney P. Colowick and Nathan O. Kaplan, now part of Elsevier
. Historically, each volume has centered on a specific topic of biochemistry
, such as DNA repair
, yeast genetics, or the biology of nitric oxide
. In recent years, however, the range of topics covered has broadened to also include biotechnology-oriented areas of research.
First published in 1955, there are now over 480 volumes in the collection. The series is currently edited by John Abelson and Mel Simon, with each volume being guest-edited and contributed to by the expert researchers in the field.
The articles offer detailed description of experimental techniques in biochemistry. The series is widely used and cited in the biomedical research
field.

DNA repair
DNA repair refers to a collection of processes by which a cell identifies and corrects damage to the DNA molecules that encode its genome. In human cells, both normal metabolic activities and environmental factors such as UV light and radiation can cause DNA damage, resulting in as many as 1...
