Synopses & Reviews
This book offers a comprehensive and current view of mammalian biochemistry. It includes unique "Clinical Correlations" -- examples of clinical manifestations of biochemical defects -- along with extensive illustrations to provide a complete picture of all aspects of biochemistry.
Contains new clinical correlations and review questions.
-- New, full color illustrations program.
-- A "Devlin" Web site provides online discussions, new material not found in the book, and other information relevant to the book.
Synopsis
Unique in its inclusion of clinical correlations, it is an invaluable reference for medical, dentistry and veterinary students, providing exhaustive coverage of proteins, enzymes, metabolism, DNA, RNA, hormones, and more. New to this edition are chapters covering protein function, protein synthesis, genetic engineering and molecular cell biology.
