Medical Biochemistry, 2nd Edition integrates fundamental biochemistry with molecular biology and molecular physiology. Published by Academic Press, this textbook uses medical and physiological examples alongside a systems approach to clarify biological processes.
The volume covers the structural, physical, and chemical properties of major biomolecules, as well as thermodynamics, bioenergetics, and metabolic pathways. It also explores cellular regulation, organ-specific metabolism, endocrinology, immunity, and hemostasis.
Drawing on more than 45 years of teaching experience, the text supports medical students, postdocs, faculty, and clinicians with chapter summaries and full-color figures.
