This edition significantly expands the clinical correlation that highlight the significance of biochemistry to specific clinical problems. Full-color illustrations provide clear explanations for the concepts discussed, and end-of-chapter questions and answers act as challenging study material. Reorganized into five practical sections, Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations covers these topics and much more:
- Structure of macromolecules DNA, RNA, and protein structure
- Information transmission replication, transcription, protein synthesis, and control of gene expression
- Functions of proteins protein families, enzymes, membrane structure, and transport mechanisms
- Metabolic pathways and their control carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, and nucleotide metabolism
- Physiological processes hormone and signal transduction, biochemistry of nervous tissue, muscle vision, coagulation and digestion, and principles of nutrition
