Summary
Gain a thorough understanding of the principles of biochemistry and molecular biology as they relate to modern medicine. Includes 16 case histories. Clear, concise, and in full color, Harper's This book unrivaled the ability to clarify the link between biochemistry and the molecular basis of disease. Combining outstanding full-color illustrations with integrated coverage of biochemical diseases and clinical information, Harper's offers an organization and careful balance of detail and brevity not found in any other text on the subject. New to this edition: New chapters on Aging, Cancer, and Clinical Chemistry. Every chapter has been updated to reflect the latest advances in knowledge and technology. Each chapter now begins with a statement of objectives, followed by a brief discussion of the biomedical importance of topics discussed within the chapter. There are 250 multiple-choice questions to test your knowledge and comprehension. Increased number of tables that encapsulate important information, such as vitamin and mineral requirements.
