This textbook, Essentials of Biochemistry is aimed at chemistry and biochemistry undergraduate students and first year biochemistry graduate students. It incorporates the lectures of the authors given to students with a strong chemistry background. An emphasis is placed on metabolism and reaction mechanisms and how they are studied. As the title of the book implies, the text lays the basis for an understanding of the fundamentals of biochemistry.

The second edition of this comprehensive guide provides undergraduate medical students with the most up to date information in the field of biochemistry. Divided into 35 chapters, the book covers all aspects of the subject, from cell and membrane transport, to chemistry of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins, to metabolism, and finally molecular biology and biochemistry of specific disorders, connective tissues and muscles. The last section discusses biochemical techniques such as chromatography and electrophoresis. Each chapter begins with an outline and ends with a self-assessment section which includes long and short answer questions, multiple choice questions and clinical case studies. Key points are highlighted in colour boxes and a detailed glossary provides definitions of common terms. A list of references and normal values for biochemical laboratory tests concludes the book. Key Points Fully revised, new edition providing latest information in field of biochemistry Includes self assessment questions and clinical case studies Features comprehensive glossary and references and normal values for lab tests Previous edition (9789350254912) published in 2011

The second edition of Essentials of Biochemistry has been fully updated to provide medical students with a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of biochemistry.

Each chapter begins with an introductory abstract and keywords, and ends with multiple choice questions and answers to assist learning and revision. Key points Thoroughly revised, new edition providing medical students with fundamentals of biochemistry Each chapter includes multiple choice questions and answers for revision Presents 290 images, illustrations, tables and flow charts Previous edition published in 2008

Expert biochemist N.V. Bhagavan’s new work condenses his successful Medical Biochemistry texts along with numerous case studies, to act as an extensive review and reference guide for both students and experts alike. The research-driven content includes four-color illustrations throughout to develop an understanding of the events and processes that are occurring at both the molecular and macrolecular levels of physiologic regulation, clinical effects, and interactions. Using thorough introductions, end of chapter reviews, fact-filled tables, and related multiple-choice questions, Bhagavan provides the reader with the most condensed yet detailed biochemistry overview available. More than a quick survey, this comprehensive text includes USMLE sample exams from Bhagavan himself, a previous coauthor. * Clinical focus emphasizing relevant physiologic and pathophysiologic biochemical concepts * Interactive multiple-choice questions to prep for USMLE exams * Clinical case studies for understanding basic science, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases * Instructional overview figures, flowcharts, and tables to enhance understanding

Essential Biochemistry, 3rd Edition is comprised of biology, pre-med and allied health topics and presents a broad, but not overwhelming, base of biochemical coverage that focuses on the chemistry behind the biology. Furthermore, it relates the chemical concepts that scaffold the biology of biochemistry, providing practical knowledge as well as many problem-solving opportunities to hone skills. Key Concepts and Concept Review features help students to identify and review important takeaways in each section.

This text brings together all the knowledge in biochemistry students of medicine, dentistry, veterinary science and advanced nurses need. The book pre-supposes no previous biochemistry knowledge. The opening chapter, "The Cell", orients the reader as to the imoportance of the subject to their future practice in health care. Coverage of molecular biology enhances the student's knowledge base, while not losing focus on the pertinent biochemical knowledge.

Essential Biochemistry, 5th Edition is comprised of biology, pre-med and allied health topics and presents a broad, but not overwhelming, base of biochemical coverage that focuses on the chemistry behind the biology. This revised edition relates the chemical concepts that scaffold the biology of biochemistry, providing practical knowledge as well as many problem-solving opportunities to hone skills. Key Concepts and Concept Review features help students to identify and review important takeaways in each section.
