Biological Chemistry is supported by over forty years of teaching experience and provides coverage of basic biochemical concepts including the structure, physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons, lipids, proteins and nucleotides in straightforward, easy to comprehend language. It develops these concepts into the more complex aspects of biochemistry using a systems approach and dedicating chapters to the integral study of biological phenomena, including particular aspects of metabolism in some organs and tissues, biochemical bases of endocrinology, immunity, vitamins, hemostasis and apoptosis. It also includes specific chapters on water and acid base balance and essential minerals. Integrates basic biochemistry principles with molecular biology and molecular physiologyProvides translational relevance to basic biochemical concepts though medical and physiological examplesUtilizes a systems approach to understanding biological phenomena INDICE: 1.
