Comprehensive resource

[Phyllis Pugh]

I am looking for a comprehensive reference book which will 
give me some idea what the different reagents used in common 
methods are actually doing.  As I am getting ready to take my
comprehensive exam and several questions last year included
ones of the form "why was _x_ used in this assay?" I would
find it quite useful to know what _x_ does.  I do know about
going through the different catalogs, but I am looking for a 
more convenient listing.

Any suggestions?  (Please e-mail, if there is enough interest,
I will compile and post.)

Thanks in advance,
Phyllis
