Biochemistry: An Integrative Approach with Expanded Topics

Biochemistry provides a cohesive and well-balanced presentation of the subject, addressing the diverse needs of premed, biochemistry, and life science majors. Discussion of cutting-edge biomedical applications, as well as societal and ethical issues, helps students make connections to their future careers and see the “bigger picture” of how biochemistry applies to the world around them.

Metabolism is introduced early in the text and then revisited and referenced throughout, minimizing rote memorization and allowing students to make immediate connections. By placing structure and function of biomolecules in the same chapter as their metabolism, the text covers biochemistry as a more integrated subject.
