Biochemistry, 4th Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Jan 2011, Pages: 1,520
The “Gold Standard” in Biochemistry text books.
Biochemistry, 4th Edition, is a modern classic that has been thoroughly revised. Don and Judy Voet explain biochemical concepts while offering a unified presentation of life and its variation through evolution. Incorporates both classical and current research to illustrate the historical source of much of our biochemical knowledge.
New to this edition:
- Many new and updated protein and nucleic acid structures
- Next generation DNA sequencing technologies
- New methods of protein structure prediction and design
- Discussion of glycomics
- How transmembrane proteins are inserted into membranes
- Updated discussions on vesicle formation and fusion
- Mechanism of nitric oxide synthase
Key features:
- As in past editions, the chemical basis of modern Biochemistry is presented in a thorough and uncompromising fashion. Don and Judy Voet are scholars and teachers who have dedicated their careers to their students and this text.
- A splendid art program of over 3000 figures presents both classical and contemporary concepts, experiments, and techniques.
- A lucid and elegant writing style captures the historical foundations of contemporary Biochemistry focusing on the scientific process rather than presenting Biochemistry as a body of static facts isolated from the flesh-and-blood work of experimentalists.
- Themes throughout the text integrate a vast amount of material. The unity of evolutionary processes, the interdependence of elaborate biological control systems and cascades, and the important biomedical consequences of understanding life at the molecular level are themes woven into the text to give students an intellectually satisfying journey, not just a dry presentation of topics and techniques.
