Mit Ebook
Berg, Jeremy M. & Stryer, Lubert & Tymoczko, John L. & Gatto, Gregory J.

For four decades, this extraordinary textbook has played a pivotal role in the way biochemistry is taught, offering exceptionally clear writing, innovative graphics, coverage of the latest research techniques and advances, and a signature emphasis on physiological and medical relevance. Those defining features are at the heart of this edition.

This textbook makes the language of the introductory biochemistry course as accessible as possible. Its straightforward and logical organisation enhances clarity by stepping the reader through processes and helping them navigate complex pathways and mechanisms. Biochemistry is available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. See 'Instructor Resources' and 'Student Resources' for further information.

Jeremy M. Berg received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemistry from Stanford (where he did research with Keith Hodgson and Lubert Stryer) and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Harvard with Richard Holm. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Carl Pabo in Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. John L. Tymoczko is Towsley Professor of Biology at Carleton College, where he has taught since 1976. He currently teaches Biochemistry, the Metabolic Basis of Human Disease, Oncogenes and the Molecular Biology of Cancer, and Exercise Biochemistry and co-teaches an introductory course, Energy Flow in Biological Systems. Gregory J. Gatto, Jr., received his A.B. degree in chemistry from Princeton University, where he worked with Martin F. Semmelhack and was awarded the Everett S. Wallis Prize in Organic Chemistry. Lubert Stryer is Winzer Professor of Cell Biology, Emeritus, in the School of Medicine and Professor of Neurobiology, Emeritus, at Stanford University, where he has been on the faculty since 1976. He received his M.D. from Harvard Medical School.

Klappentext

---

• Precise, informative Illustrations: Each figure focuses on a single concept, clearly telling the story of a mechanism, pathway or process without the distraction of excess detail.rn
• Physiological Relevance: Presents pathways and processes in a physiological context to show how biochemistry works in different parts of the body and under different environmental and hormonal conditions.rn
• Clinical Insights: Wherever appropriate, pathways and mechanisms are applied to health and disease in discussions.rn
• Evolutionary Perspective: Evolution is evident in the structures and pathways of biochemistry and is woven into the narrative of the textbook.

• Case Studies: With these assignable and assessable biochemistry case studies, students work with data, develop critical thinking skills, connect topics and apply what they're learning to real scenarios.rn
• Clicker Questions: With these questions, instructors can integrate active learning in the classroom and assess students understanding of key concepts during lectures.rn
• New Coauthor, Gregory J. Gatto, Jr: A longtime contributor to the text, Gatto has made major contributions throughout the new edition, leading the revision of 10 chapters.rn
