Thomas M. Devlin Libri

This is a very in depth book, but very helpful for explaining the details of biochemistry. Useful for both at undergraduate level and as adjunct resource for medical school.

Entirely revised and updated, this edition provides comprehensive, in-depth coverage of the subject. Each chapter includes an overview, a thorough treatment of the topic, followed by a bibliography and questions and answers. Unique to this book is the inclusion of clinical correlations which describe clinical examples of the consequences of malfunctioning biochemical pathways. The book introduces the chemistry and structure of cells and proceeds with discussion on proteins, enzymes, membrane structure and function, bioenergetics, metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and nucleic acids. It also covers all aspects of molecular biology.
