Summary

This book presents a clear and precise discussion of the biochemistry of mammalian cells and, where appropriate, prokaryotic and other eukaryotic cells, relates biochemical events at a cellular level to the subsequent physiological processes of the cellular and whole animal level, 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.
