This new edition of a classic laboratory manual covers the general principles, specific methods and procedures, and quantitative histochemistry of enzymatic analysis. It presents a systematic scheme for analyzing biological materials and explains the theory and techniques in terms simple enough for anyone to follow. The protocols are written in a clear, easy to follow style as if the author had just performed the technique himself and knows exactly the problems to be encountered.
