内容説明

This important new text offers a complete, student-friendly introduction to biochemistry and molecular biology. The content is carefully selected to provide students with the essential information needed for a first university course in biochemistry and molecular biology. Throughout the emphasis is on understanding and explanation, and the chapter sequence is designed to provide a logical flow through the subject. The presentation is modern and attractive, with the use of clear full-colour illustrations throughout the text. This book is intended for students studying biochemistry on one-year or single-semester courses as a component of a wider degree in the life sciences.

内容説明

Providing students with the essential information needed for first university courses, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology explains basic principles clearly and concisely. Unlike other over-long, structure-heavy texts, this new textbook takes a fresh approach, placing an emphasis on the whole organism, and providing a meaningful context for learning the `whys' as well as the `hows' of Biology. Chapters are sequenced in an easily understood classification of topics based on biological function, making reading a pleasure and stimulating the student's curiosity. Comprehensive, yet accessible, this new textbook is an invaluable aid to course organisers, and will be welcomed by all students seeking an authoritative introduction and friendly guide to this fascinating field. This book is intended for students studying biochemistry on one-year or single-term courses as a component of a wider degree in the life sciences.
