Description

This is a concise core text for use in biochemistry courses in medical school and other health related fields. While many textbooks encompass this complex subject, none succeed as effectively as this new resource. A veteran professor of biochemistry, Robert Roskoski, Jr., has adapted his proven teaching strategies into a unique approach that makes biochemistry and molecular biology uncommonly accessible and relevant to medicine and health-related sciences. "Biochemistry" encourages readers to understand the fundamental principles of biochemistry - rather than memorising dry facts and formulas. These principles, printed on the inside front cover of the book and integrated throughout, make it easier for readers to grasp the whys of biochemistry and molecular biology. No other biochemistry textbook uses this approach.
