Biochemistry
Description
For four decades, this extraordinary textbook has played a pivotal role in the way biochemistry is taught, offering exceptionally clear writing, innovative graphics, coverage of the latest research techniques and advances, and a signature emphasis on physiological and medical relevance. Those defining features are at the heart of this edition.
This textbook makes the language of the introductory biochemistry course as accessible as possible. Its straightforward and logical organisation enhances clarity by stepping the reader through processes and helping them navigate complex pathways and mechanisms. Biochemistry is available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. See 'Instructor Resources' and 'Student Resources' for further information.
