Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry

Clearly written and comprehensive in scope, the fifth edition brings the latest developments and emphasizes the relevance of biochemisrty to today's student.It is up-to-date, with a balance of biology and chemistry coverage. It contains twenty-five percent more End-of-Chapter Problems. It provides clear and comprehensive explanations throughout the text.This text is the classic introduction to biochemistry that brings clarity and coherence to a complex discipline, always made fresh by combining the field's definitive advances with the ability to reach students. Thoroughly updated, with new or greatly revised sections, the text also includes new pedagogy and more emphasis on medical relevance.
