Features brand new "Biochemistry in Perspective" essays that show students how biochemical principles will be applied in their future scientific careers.
Includes twice as many problems as the previous edition, spanning a wider range of difficulty and equipping students with stronger skills in critical thinking.
Covers the lastest scholarship on such topics as macromolecular crowding, systems biology, and protein-folding diseases, to keep students up to date and poised for further study.
Includes more than sixty new figures to better help students visualize complex biochemical processes and understand the impact of these processes on the living state.
Biochemistry: The Molecular Basis of Life, provides a complete overview of the living state by explaining the functional and structural properties of biomolecules in the context of their biochemical reactions and impact on living organisms. It also places strong emphasis on critical thinking to help students diagnose real biochemical problems, and integrates fascinating applications of biochemistry in fields of health, agriculture, engineering, and forensics in order to relate concept to experience and show students the relevance of their learning to their future careers.
Readership: Non-biochemistry undergraduates who require a strong grasp of essential biochemical principles.
