Description
The most comprehensive textbook/reference ever to cover the chemical basis of life, the "Green Bible of Biochemistry" has been a well-respected contribution to the field for more than twenty years. The complex structures that make up cells are described in detail, along with the forces that hold them together, and the chemical reactions that allow for recognition, signaling and movement. There is ample information on the human body, its genome, and the action of muscles, eyes, and the brain. The complete set deals with the natural world, treating the metabolism of bacteria, toxins, antibiotics, specialized compounds made by plants, photosynthesis, luminescence of fireflies, among many other topics.

Description
Biochemistry: The Chemical Reactions of Living Cells is a well-integrated, up-to-date reference for basic chemistry and underlying biological phenomena. Biochemistry is a comprehensive account of the chemical basis of life, describing the amazingly complex structures of the compounds that make up cells, the forces that hold them together, and the chemical reactions that allow for recognition, signaling, and movement. This book contains information on the human body, its genome, and the action of muscles, eyes, and the brain.
Table of Contents
Volume 2:.
The Organization of Metabolism.
Electron Transport, Oxidative Phosphorylation, and Hydroxylation.
The Chemistry of Movement.
Some Pathways of Carbohydrate Metabolism.
Specific Aspects of Lipid Metabolism.
Polyprenyl (Isoprenoid) Compounds.
Light and Life.
The Metabolism of Nitrogen and Amino Acids.
Metabolism of Aromatic Compounds and Nucleic Acid Bases.
Biochemical Genetics.
Organization, Replication, Transposition, and Repair of DNA.
The Transcription of Genes.
