Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Focusing on the basic principles of biochemistry and filling the gap between the encyclopedic volumes and the cursory overview texts, this book is for one-semester or two-semester introductory courses in Biochemistry. Praised in its previous edition for currency and clarity of exposition, it has been updated to reflect changes in this discipline.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
