  With new co-authors Jeremy Berg and John Tymoczko, Biochemistry 5th edition has expanded integration of evolution, more chemical and structural insights, and a web based media component created simultaneously with the text. Improved pedagogy includes: chapter opening outlines, expanded end of chapter problem sets, new types of problems, and special icons highlighting evolutionary coverage, clinically relevant material, or related media content on the Web. Biochemistry also becomes the first text to fully reflect the revolution that has taken place in biomedical science in the past ten years, culminating in the human genome project. A key focus of the new edition is the unifying features of protein structure and function that have been revealed by the incredible progress in gene sequencing. All molecular diagrams have been recreated by Jeremy Berg for clearer and more consistent presentations of structure throughout, with the art programme being increased by nearly 20 per cent over the previous edition. The new author team has also worked to maintain the book's defining feature: the characteristic clarity.

  With a balance of topic coverage and depth this updated third edition covers the subject of biochemistry, and reflects the advances made in this field since the second edition published in 1981. These advances are incorporated without loss of historical perspective and without obscuring the main goal of the text: to teach the enduring fundamentals of the discipline. Included in the third edition is a completely reorganized part one introducing the flow of information from gene to protein. It emphasizes the growing interrelatedness of molecular biology and biochemistry, and acquaints one with experimental methods of both disciplines. Also included is 150 new problems and a wealth of new material on molecular genetics and cellular processes.

  This introductory text aims to cover the principles of biochemistry and to give the reader a command of biochemistry's basic concepts and language. New material is related to common themes and recurring motifs whenever possible. For example, new treatments of membrane excitation and transport, signal transduction, molecular immunology, muscle contraction and cell motility, and protein folding and design have been added early to the book. Discussions of the new areas of inquiry opened up by the growing partnership between biochemistry, cell biology and molecular genetics - including a chapter of reflection on molecular evolution - are featured in the last chapter of the book. The fourth edition includes: an up-to-date presentation of recent advances in the field of biochemistry; an updated art programme and presentation of new molecular models; and a discussion of the topics in molecular biology which were presented in the third edition as possibilities, and have now developed into realities.
