Essentials of Biological Chemistry

by Lorraine D. Buckberry

Essentials of Biological Chemistry Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Essentials of Biological Chemistry is an introduction to this exciting and rapidly developing field of the chemistry of biologically active compounds. Assuming little in the way of biological knowledge, this text aims to develop students' understanding of how biological processes are controlled by underlying chemical principles. Taking a mechanistic approach, the book starts with the basics and carefully leads the reader through the essentials of the field. It begins by looking at biological systems and the physical chemistry of the cell, and then moves on to cover protein structure and function and catalytic proteins, and concludes with a number of case studies. Each chapter is carefully structured, and includes examples, summaries, self-test questions and problems.

Synopsis:

Die biologische Chemie befaßt sich mit der Chemie biologisch aktiver Verbindungen und ist ein enorm wichtiges, schnellebiges Forschungsgebiet. Dieses einführende Lehrbuch setzt keine Vorkenntnisse in Biologie voraus und ist daher ideal geeignet für Chemiestudenten. Ausgehend von der physikalischen Chemie der Zelle erklären die Autoren Struktur, Funktionsweise und gegebenenfalls katalytische Eigenschaften von Proteinen, illustriert durch zahlreiche Fallbeispiele. Übungsaufgaben unterschiedlicher Schwierigkeitsgrade und übersichtliche Zusammenfassungen machen den Band auch zum nützlichen Hilfsmittel bei der Prüfungsvorbereitung. (10/00)
