This text focuses on the major topics taught in a one-semester biochemistry course.
This book is an outgrowth of my teaching of biochemistry to undergraduates, graduate students, and medical students at Yale and Stanford. My aim is to provide an introduction to the principles of biochemistry that gives the reader a command of its concepts and language. I also seek to give an appreciation of the process of discovery in biochemistry.
Derived from the classic text originated by Lubert Stryer and continued by John Tymoczko and Jeremy Berg, Biochemistry: A Short Course focuses on the major topics taught in a one-semester biochemistry course. With its brief chapters and relevant examples, this thoroughly updated new edition helps students see the connections between the biochemistry they are studying and their own lives. Now with SaplingPlus, Learning objectives and active learning questions. SaplingPlus is an online solution that combines an e-book of the text, Berg's powerful multimedia resources, and Sapling’s robust biochemistry problem library.
