Overview
Continuing Garrett and Grisham's innovative conceptual and organizing "Essential Questions" framework, BIOCHEMISTRY guides students through course concepts in a way that reveals the beauty and usefulness of biochemistry in the everyday world. Offering a balanced and streamlined presentation, this edition has been updated throughout with new material and revised presentations. For the first time, this book is integrated with OWLv2, a powerful online learning system for chemistry with book-specific end-of-chapter material that engages students and improves learning outcomes.
- Brand NEW “Deeper Look” Boxes have been added to Chapters 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 18, 23, and 30.
- Brand NEW “Human Biochemistry” Boxes have been added to Chapters 7, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 24, and 26.
- Brand NEW “Critical Developments in Biochemistry” Boxes in Chapters 4, 5, 6, 12, and 14.
- Entirely new sections have been added to Chapters 5 and 12.
- MANY New figures have been added and revised throughout.
- Reference lists at the end of each chapter make it easy for you to find additional information about each topic.
- Each chapter in this book is framed around an Essential Question that engages students in the material and encourages curiosity about the subject matter.
- Human Biochemistry essays emphasize the central role of basic biochemistry in medicine and the health sciences with information on clinically important issues such as diet, diabetes, and cardiovascular health.
- Critical Developments in Biochemistry essays emphasize recent and historical advances in the field, while A Deeper Look essays expand on the text, highlighting selected topics or experimental observations.
- End-of-chapter summaries review and briefly answer the key questions posed in each section.
