Description
SPRINGER Biochemistry (4 Volumes Bound In 3 Books) 1998 Edition by JOCHANAN STENESH
The ideal foundation of a one-semester course for undergraduate students, Stenesh's Biochemistry presents the basic body of biochemical knowledge and a thorough exposition of fundamental biochemical concepts. Carefully balancing primary and secondary topics, this introductory text covers the essentials in proper depth to establish a firm foundation for further study. Superior to any other first level text available, Stenesh's Biochemistry features: * clear writing, thorough explanations, and precise definitions. * comprehensive study sections for all chapters, consisting of both review-type questions and calculation-type problems, graded by difficulty and including answers * selected reading lists * concise chapter summaries * two-color text * 529 illustrations * a separate chapter on bioenergetics, and * an extensive index. Four appendixes review acid-base calculations, the principles of organic chemistry, the tools of biochemistry, and oxidation-reduction reactions, and a separate Solutions Manual presents step-by-step answers to problems.
