Infos

Essential Biochemistry, 5th Edition, combines succinct and clear chapters with extensive problem sets. Students benefit from a modern approach involving broad, but not overwhelming coverage of biochemical facts, focusing on the chemistry behind biology.

Students are provided with practical knowledge and problem-solving opportunities. Because effective learning also requires students to become as fully engaged with the material as possible, the authors have employed a strategy of posing questions and suggesting study activities throughout each chapter, so that students will not simply read and memorize but will explore and discover on their own — a truer reflection of how biochemists approach their work in the laboratory or clinic.
