Essential Biochemistry, with CD, 2nd Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Aug 2010, Pages: 704
Essential Biochemistry offers chemists a streamlined approach to the field, focusing on the chemistry behind the biology. The selective approach allows them to understand the main ideas without needing to memorize many specific details.
The second edition offers the most up-to-date coverage, placing more emphasis on the coverage of molecular structure, laboratory techniques, and problem solving.
It retains core topics of biochemistry, using real examples of chemical reactions and molecular structures. Integrated media also provides chemists with a review of difficult concepts along with molecular structure tutorials and interactive animations.
New to this Edition:
- New Chapter 11, Carbohydrate Chemistry, consolidates carbohydrate coverage, including basic structure and nomenclature.
- Two large chapters in the 1e have been split into smaller, more manageable chapters:
- Chapter 4, will become Chapter 4, Protein Structure and Chapter 5, Myoglobin and Hemoglobin: A Study of Protein Function replace 1e Chapter 4, Myoglobin and Hemoglobin: A Study of Protein Structure and Function
- Chapter 9, Lipids and Membranes and Chapter 10, Membrane Function replaces 1e Chapter 8, Biological Membranes.
Key Concepts at the beginning of each section help focus students on learning objectives for the section.
Clinical Notes explore the biochemical basis of disease and its treatment;, including typical clinical symptoms, an explanation of the relevant biochemistry, and questions that prompt students to draw connections to their knowledge of molecular structure, metabolism, and so on.
Tools & Techniques sections in the appropriate chapters address real world laboratory methods and include actual data to illustrate the techniques rather than a theoretical approach to the methods.
Increased Problem-Solving opportuhites through the inclusion of additional problems and simple questions that assess understanding of basic concepts This edition also include increased opportunities for students to practice recognizing, drawing, and otherwise manipulating simple molecule
Bioinformatics Exercises require students ‘utilization of online biological databases and software tools to solve exercises addressing DNA and protein sequences, protein three-dimensional structure, enzymes and metabolic pathways, and the genetic basis of metabolic diseases.
