Biochemistry: An Integrative Approach IA (Paperback)

本書序言

●Extensively updated concept check problems, and end-of-chapter problems. 
●New sections supplemented on ATP-the free energy carrier in Chapter 1, Nucleic acids are the genetic materials in Chapter 2, Amino acid sequencing techniques and Protein sequencing techniques in Chapter 3, Nomenclature of enzymes in Chapter 4, Electrical properties of membranes in Chapter 5, Identification of monosaccharides using different reagents and coordinated regulation of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis through hormones in Chapter 6, Other modes of fatty acid oxidation in Chapter 9, Biosynthesis of amino acids in Chapter 11, and Electron microscopy for next-generation macromolecular determination in Chapter 18. 
●Chapters on Protein I: Structure has been merged with chapter on Protein Purification. Similarly, chapter on Protein II Enzymes and chapter on Allosterism have been merged.

本書特色

●Gives four guiding themes with pertinent examples that ground the concepts in the chapter with the broader themes used throughout the book: Evolution; Structure and Function; Information Flow, Exchange, and Storage; and Pathways and Transformations of Matter and Energy. 
●Contains three types of boxed features: Medical Biochemistry, Biochemistry, and Societal and Ethical Biochemistry. 
●Comprises end of chapter problems that use research and biomedical examples to reinforce key concepts in the chapter.
