《Biochemistry：Essential Concepts》Hardin, Charles C.; Knopp, James著
A concise, clear format that summarizes the essential information in a standard biochemistry textbook.
Review Sessions and Practice Exams stress applying knowledge learned, in addition to, getting a sound foundation of the basics.
Reiteration of core concepts shows students that the same fundamental principles govern many aspects of biological processes.
Real-world applied examples edify a student's understanding of medicinal biochemistry and serve the needs and interests of pre-professional students.
One-semester biochemistry courses are notorious for overwhelming students with the magnitude of material covered in their texts and lectures. Biochemistry: Essential Concepts distills the basic ideas covered in a one-semester course without the extraneous details that burden most texts.
Authors Charles Hardin and James Knopp demonstrate the core concepts of biochemistry - including cell biology, amino acids, metabolism, and DNA - in a variety of real-world contexts. With the last forty percent of the text devoted to review questions and practice tests, Biochemistry: Essential Concepts equips students for success in the one-semester biochemistry course and prepares them for their future studies and careers.
Readership: One-semester biochemistry students and professors
