RECITATION Problem answers (posted before each exam)

Corrections -- to current edition of problem book,
lectures, text, handouts

Do you have an older edition of the problem book? Check here for updates.  

Problems to do in Mowshowitz, Problems in Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, 19th edition (2009).
This list is provided as guide for your convenience; these are NOT "assignments." You should do all the problems that you can, as soon as the topics have been covered in lecture, and you have reviewed your notes. If we forget to post the problems, it does NOT mean there is nothing to do. See lecture notes for how selected problems correspond to selected lecture topics.
