Editorial Reviews

Review
Sci-Tech Book News : "Originally published in 1939, this enduring
reference/text continues with its mission to introduce
biochemistry concepts to medical and health sciences students in concise
text supported with graphs, charts, and diagrams.
Updating the 2003 26th edition (which was drastically revised to make it
shorter), the 27th includes substantial revisions as
well as new coverage of bioinformatics and computational biology. Topics
are each treated in about 10 pages and are presented
under the themes of: structures and functions of proteins and enzymes;
bioenergetics and the metabolism of carbohydrates and
lipids; metabolism of proteins and amino acids; structure, function and
replication of informational macromolecules;
biochemistry of extracellular and intracellular communication; and special
topics (e.g. nutrition, digestion and absorption,
muscle and the cytoskeleton). The authors introduce each concept with
discussion of its biomedical importance."

Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry offers concise, up-to-date, and

authoritative coverage of the principles of biochemistry
and molecular biology as they relate to medicine.

Revised for clarity, with new streamlined organization, new figures, and
new online image collection
Reflects major advances in biochemistry that are important to medicine
Includes new chapters on amino acids and peptides, primary structure of
proteins, and the Human Genome Project
Presents new and expanded coverage of the mechanisms of action of
enzymes, receptors involved in lipoprotein metabolism and
reverse cholesterol transport, RNA synthesis, gene regulation, molecular
mechanisms of hormone action, protein life cycle,
and pharmacogenomics Provides clinical correlations and chapter
summaries Features more than 500 clear, descriptive illustrations
