Summary:

"Biochemistry: The Molecular Basis of Life, Fourth Edition, is the ideal text for students who are not specializing in biochemistry but require a strong grasp of the essential biochemical principles for their future careers." "New to the fourth edition is increased relevance: features brand new "Biochemistry in Perspective" essays that show students how bio-chemical principles will be applied in their future scientific careers; enhance problem-solving: includes twice as many problems as the previous edition, spanning a wider range of difficulty and equipping students with stronger skills in critical thinking; greater currency: covers the latest scholarship on topics such as macromolecular crowding, systems biology, and protein-folding diseases, to keep students up-to-date and poised for further study; and improved illustrations: includes more than 60 new figures to better help students visualize complex biochemical processes and understand the impact of these processes on the living state."--BOOK JACKET.
