Biochemistry, 7th Edition, by Reginald H. Garrett and Charles M. Grisham, presents the molecular foundations and chemical principles governing living organisms. Developed for undergraduate students in life sciences, chemistry, and premedical tracks, this textbook clarifies how physical and biological interactions shape cellular function.
The material progresses through distinct thematic arcs, beginning with water as a biological medium, thermodynamics, and protein structures. It then examines enzyme kinetics, catalytic mechanisms, and major bioenergetic pathways such as glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and photosynthesis. Additional chapters address recombinant DNA technologies, gene editing, synthetic biology, transcription, protein synthesis, and cellular signal reception.
This seventh edition integrates text-specific end-of-chapter exercises with the OWLv2 online learning system to assist with analytical practice. The textbook suits coursework for undergraduate majors in chemistry and life sciences, as well as entering medical and graduate health sciences students.
