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 Illustrated Biochemistry is unrivaled in its 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. Following two introductory chapters, the text is divided into six main sections: Section I addresses the structures and functions of proteins and enzymes. Section II explains how various cellular reactions utilize or release energy and traces the pathways by which carbohydrates and lipids are synthesized and degraded. Section III covers the amino acids, their metabolic fates, certain features of protein catabolism, and the biochemistry of the porphyrins and bile pigments. Section IV describes the structure and function of nucleotides and nucleic acids, DNA replication and repair, RNA synthesis and modification, protein synthesis, the principles of recombinant DNA technology, and new understanding of how gene expression is regulated. Section V deals with aspects of extracellular and intracellular communication. Section VI includes fifteen special topics, ranging from nutrition, digestion and absorption to the biochemistry of aging New to this edition:

This title is a combined edition of two existing titles, "Food Tables" and "Food Labelling". It contains detailed analyses of the energy and nutrients - fats, carbohydrates, fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals - in over 800 fresh and processed foods and drinks, from raw vegetables to fast-food take-away meals. It also provides an explanation of what these tems mean, and how to understand the labels. These tables should be of value to teachers, college students and school pupils, from Key Stage 3 of the National Curriculum through GCSE, A-level, and NVQ, to GNVQ, Diploma, and degree courses. They may be used to support work in home economics, food technology, chemistry, biology and other subjects that involve nutrition and food science. The tables and explanatory notes are arranged in six sections: the need for food -energy and protein requirements; the need for food - vitamins and minerals - the nutrient content of foods; food labelling; height, weight and growth; miscellaneous tables, including equivalence of metric, imperial and household measures, and equivalence of temperatures.
