This book presents a clear and precise discussion of the biochemistry of eukaryotic cells, particularly those of mammalian tissues, relates biochemical events at a cellular level to the subsequent physiological processes in the whole animal, and cites examples of abnormal biochemical processes in human disease. The organization and content are tied together to provide students with the complete picture of biochemistry and how it relates to human diseases.

This book presents the biochemistry of mammalian cells, relates events at the cellular level to the subsequent physiological processes in the whole animal, and cites examples of human diseases derived from aberrant biochemical processes.

This completely revised and updated edition provides a comprehensive overview of mammalian biochemistry. Topics examined include introductions to the structure of the cell and protein composition, followed by in depth coverage of biological membranes, bioenergetics, metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and nucleotides. Chapters have been updated on DNA replication and repair, recombinant DNA and biotechnology, regulation of gene expression and RNA structure and function. Further subjects covered include protein synthesis and post-translational modification, biochemistry of hormones, and biotransformation.

This set combines: An Introduction to Human Molecular Genetics, Second Edition A comprehensive text, which covers the genetic principles governing human inherited diseases. ∗ Includes a fully expanded and rewritten section on clinical genetics, covering human gene therapy through to diagnostic testing, molecular screening, and treatment. ∗ Richly illustrated throughout with clear, informative figures. ∗ Contains new chapters on complex genetic disorders, genomic imprinting and epigenetics, human population genetics, and human genetic diversity. Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations, Sixth Edition Devlin′s textbook presents the biochemistry of mammalian cells, relates events at a cellular level to the subsequent physiological processes in the whole animal, and cites examples of human diseases derived from aberrant biochemical processes. The organization and content aim to provide students with the complete picture of biochemistry and how it relates to humans. ∗ Contains questions with explained answers at the end of every chapter. Questions are formatted after the board examinations for medical school. ∗ Includes a concise appendix reviewing important organic chemistry concepts. ∗ Contains detailed, full–colour illustrations that clearly explain the associated concepts. New to the sixth edition: ∗ Every chapter has been updated with the latest information and correlations/questions. ∗ A new chapter focusing on cell biology has been added. ∗ A glossary of important terms. ∗ Incorporates Wiley PLUS.
