Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry: Fourth edition

Product Information

Expanded and updated section on lipid rafts and caveolae includes new material on membrane curvature and the proteins that influence it, and introduces amphitropic proteins and annular lipids This comprehensive biochemical text covers all aspects of modern biochemistry, together with many new developments since the previous edition of four years ago.

If you are a medical student, nursing student, biochemistry student, or any other course that involves the study of biochemistry, you will find this book very useful. Most of our classes are now online, and most students can’t seem to like this new system integrated into the education system. This text has an emphasis on problem solving with in text ‘Worked Examples’ that take students through particular difficult equations to improve their quantitative problem-solving skills, and data ‘Analysis Problems’ that encourage students to synthesize what they have learned and apply their knowledge to the interpretation of data from the literature. More than 600 end-of-chapter problems (all available in Achieve) are also included to give students further opportunity to practice what they have learned. Appendix A Common Abbreviations in the Biochemical Research Literature Appendix B Abbreviated Solutions to Problems Glossary Credits IndexAlbert L. Lehninger, Michael M. Cox, David L. Nelson Book Content Section I: Catalyst and Structure New Medical section on G protein coupled receptors (GCPRs) discusses the range of diseases for which drugs target GPCRs

The new edition brings this remarkable text into a new era. Like its predecessors, Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Sixth Edition strikes a careful balance of current science and enduring concepts, incorporating a tremendous amount of new findings, but only those that help illustrate biochemistry’s foundational principles. With this edition, students will encounter new information emerging from high throughput DNA sequencing, x-ray crystallography, and the manipulation of genes and gene expression, and other techniques. In addition, students will see how contemporary biochemistry has shifted away from exploring metabolic pathways in isolation to focusing on interactions among pathways. They will also get an updated understanding of the relevance of biochemistry to the study of human disease (especially diabetes) as well as the important role of evolutionary theory in biochemical research. Course and book-specific resources including adaptive quizzing (Learning Curve) to personalize the experience for students
