Description
The original edition was published in 1993; the second, in 1996. Intended for students in a one-semester introductory course, this text is organized in modules for flexibility. It focuses on principles, on chemistry with rigorous biology, and on the visual (computer-generated mono and stereo images are included to clarify the shape and function of biomolecules; a stereo viewer is packaged with the text). New to this edition: integration of material on nucleotide structure and function into various chapters; more problems and detailed solutions; internet activities; a glossary; and updated readings at the end of each chapter.

This accurate and up-to-date book focuses on the basic principles of Biochemistry, with carefully selected examples of each. The areas of greatest change since the second edition are lipid metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and protein metabolism. Includes stereo views of many macromolecules; computer supplement; a section on molecular evolution; protein structures; molecular evolution; and developments in the area of gene expression, including the structure of RNA polymerase, the structure of the ribosome, genome organization, repair mechanisms, regulation of transcription and translation, and the structure and evolution of aminoacy1-tRNA synthetases. For readers interested in Biochemistry.
