About this book

For four decades, this extraordinary textbook played an 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.

New to this edition:
- New Case Studies
- With these assignable and assessable biochemistry case studies, students work with data, develop critical thinking skills, connect topics and apply what they're learning to real scenarios. Cases include suggestions for using them in the classroom and aligned assessment questions for quizzes and exams.NEW Clicker Questions (Microsoft Word and PowerPoint)
- With these questions, instructors can integrate active learning in the classroom and assess students' understanding of key concepts during lectures.

New Coauthor, Gregory J. Gatto, Jr.
A longtime contributor to the text, Gatto has made major contributions throughout the new edition, leading the revision of:
Chapter 2. Protein Composition and Structure
Chapter 3. Exploring Proteins and Proteomes
Chapter 5. Exploring Genes and Genomes
Chapter 6. Exploring Evolution and Bioinformatics
Chapter 7. Hemoglobin: Portrait of a Protein in Action
Chapter 12. Lipids and Cell Membranes
