	Chemokine Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)
	By: Amanda E.I. Proudfoot, Timothy N.C. Wells, Christine Power ISBN: 0896037223 Publisher: Humana Press Release Date: 13 April, 2000 Bioscience book rank: 2280453	Having searched numerous journal articles, this book was an unexpected surprise. It provided a concise yet thorough explanation of many protocols necessary for investigating many facets of chemotaxis. In addition to the detailed protocols, I especially enjoyed the brief discussions dealing with the use and relevance of each protocol. I would recommend this book to those involved in chemotactic research.

	GRE: Practicing to Take the Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test
	By: Educational Testing Service ISBN: 0886851882 Publisher: Educational Testing Service Release Date: November, 2000 Bioscience book rank: 1248714	I am a fourth year university student preparing to take the Biochem/Cell Bio GRE Subject Test. I ordered this book thinking that it was a work-book and stugy guide. I was under the impression that this volume would contain multiple sample tests along with study materials in the individual subject areas. At over $90, plus shipping, I was expecting a comprehensive review like the workbooks published by Barron's for the SAT. <br /> <br />To say I was disappointed when I recieved this book is a gross understatement. Its not even a book, it is a 60 PAGE BOOKLET. [...] This booklet contains just ONE full-size subject test, and not much more. The sample test occupies the bulk of the booklet, the remaining 16 pages offer no viable insight as to how you should study for this test, or any valuable tips to get you ahead. Examples of the "advice" contained in this useless booklet includes, "A general review of you undergrad cirriculum is the best preparation," Gee; thanks. <br /> <br />You can obtain a sample test for FREE when you register for your subject test. Do yourself a favor and save your 90 bucks, you can get everyting contained in this lousy booklet AT NO CHARGE. A no-name company called BookoRama in Pennsylvania billed my debit card for almost A HUNDRED DOLLARS. When the booklet arrived, it did not come with any kind of invoice or receipt, just a slip of paper that read "ALL SALES FINAL." It might as well have said "YOU GOT F****" There is no hope for a refund. On top of it all, to add insult to injury, the list price on the back cover reads: $9.00 US!!! <br /> <br />I got screwed out of my hard earned cash for a worthless, nine dollar booklet. Take it from me; dont order this trash. The only way to study for this test is with your old Biochem, Cell and Genetics textbooks; NOT by dropping over 90 dollars for this SCAM. The two most recent reviewers have suggested that this book is the same as the PDF file on ets.org. Although I'm sure they were trying to be helpful, that information is false. <br /> <br />The file you can download from ETS is an electronic copy of the same sample booklet that you get in the mail (for free) when you register for the exam. <br /> <br />The published book itself follows the same format (test info, outline of topics, sample test, scoring). However, it is a totally different set of test questions. <br /> <br />For example, page 1 of the test on the ETS website includes questions on: RNA molecules that exhibit catalytic activity; the conversion of pyruvate to oxylate; identifying a particular hormone given a description of its function; oxydative phosphorylation; a general question on enzyme catalyzation; and the turnover of molecular components through the plasma membrane. <br /> <br />Page 1 of the published test guide (the book for sale here) includes questions on: the importance of phospholipids as consituents of cell membranes; the stabilization of folded states of globular proteins; the ionic strength of .5 molar MgCl(2); the most efficient substrate of an enzyme; the terminal electron acceptor for noncyclic electron flow during the light reactions of photosynthesis; the most effective method for isolation of secretory vesicles from a cell lysate; the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (of five listed functions, you have to pick the one that's incorrect); communication among the cisternae of the Golgi complex; and theoretical implications fo the resolving power of light microscopes. <br /> <br />As you can see, they are NOT the same exam. <br /> <br />Both the ets.org PDF file and the published book include 180 questions. Either of them should give you a good idea of how you would do on the real exam. <br /> <br />However, if you can get a hold of the published book (which ETS has stopped making), you have twice as many questions to study from. If you use the actual questions to look up topics, then the bigger pool of sample questions you have, the better. Some people aren't just satisfied with knowing they got a correct answer; they make sure they can identify all the terms and concepts in the wrong* answers as well. <br /> <br />I think the printed study guide is useful. The two reviewers who say it's not useful haven't even looked at it; they just "heard" it was the same as the PDF file on the website. I bought this book thinking it was a review similar to those for the General GRE exam, I thought wrong. This book is a bound version of a sample test that you can download from the ETS website along with the "helpful" hints that the ETS provides. Don't bother wasting your time and money trying to get a copy of this book, you can download the whole thing as a PDF at the ETS website.
