Book Description
With new co-authors Jeremy Berg and John
Tymoczko, "Biochemistry" 5th edition has expanded integration of
evolution, more chemical and structural insights, and a web based media
component created simultaneously with the text. Improved pedagogy
includes: chapter opening outlines, expanded end of chapter problem
sets, new types of problems, and special icons highlighting evolutionary
coverage, clinically relevant material, or related media content on the
Web. "Biochemistry" also becomes the first text to fully reflect the
revolution that has taken place in biomedical science in the past ten
years, culminating in the human genome project. A key focus of the new
edition is the unifying features of protein structure and function that
have been revealed by the incredible progress in gene sequencing. All
molecular diagrams have been recreated by Jeremy Berg for clearer and
more consistent presentations of structure throughout, with the art
programme being increased by nearly 20 per cent over the previous
edition. The new author team has also worked to maintain the book's
defining feature: the characteristic clarity.
