Biochemistry: Fundamentals and Bioenergetics presents information about the basic and applied aspects of the chemistry of living organisms. The textbook covers the scope and importance of biochemistry, the latest physical techniques to determine biomolecular structure, detailed classification, structure and function of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, vitamins, enzymes and hormones.
Readers will also learn about processes central to energy metabolism including photosynthesis and respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, DNA replication, transcription and translation, recombinant DNA technology.
Key Features:
- Logical approach to biochemistry with several examples
- 10 organized chapters on biochemistry fundamentals and metabolism
- focus on biomolecules and biochemical processes
- references for further reading
Biochemistry: Fundamentals and Bioenergetics is a useful textbook for undergraduate students involved in courses in life sciences, biochemistry and other branches of natural sciences.
