Biochemistry

With new co-authors Jeremy Berg and John Tymoczko, Biochemistry, Fifth Edition begins a new era of excellence, with 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% over the previous edition. The new author team has also worked to maintain the book's defining feature: the characteristic clarity for which it has been known for decades.
