This accurate and up-to-date book focuses on the basic principles of Biochemistry, with carefully selected examples of each. The areas of greatest change since the second edition are lipid metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and protein metabolism. Includes stereo views of many macromolecules; computer supplement; a section on molecular evolution; protein structures; molecular evolution; and developments in the area of gene expression, including the structure of RNA polymerase, the structure of the ribosome, genome organization, repair mechanisms, regulation of transcription and translation, and the structure and evolution of aminoacy1-tRNA synthetases. For readers interested in Biochemistry.

Principles Of Biochemistry

A concise, introductory text that fills the gap between the standard encyclopaedic volumes and the cursory overview texts. Widely praised in its previous edition for its accuracy, currency and clarity of exposition, the new edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect recent changes in this dynamic discipline. A text for one-semester, introductory biochemistry courses, including courses for allied health students (nursing, pharmacy, dentistry). Ideal for instructors who want a strong chemical focus to explain how and why biological reactions happen. *NEW - Chapter on recombinant DNA technology teaches theory and practice in this important area. *NEW - Now includes carefully crafted end-of-chapter problems that are designed to test understanding of core concepts. Complete, step-by-step solutions are presented in an appendix. *NEW - Reorganization places a new chapter on nucleic acid structure immediately before the molecular biology section, and photosynthesis immediately after oxidative phosphorylation. *NEW - Condensed chapters on amino acid, lipid, and nucleotide metabolism stress core concepts. *NEW - Thoroughly revised and updated throughout to maintain the standard of currency and accuracy set by the previous edition. *NEW - Interactive problem-solving and other relevant material on the home page. (http://www.prenhall.com/~chem) *Unique focus on the principles and underlying themes of biochemistry. Balanced coverage of biomolecular structure, function, metabolism, and molecular biology. *Strong chemical focus. *Authoritatively written by a collaborative team of experts, the text features a seamless exposition and clear, lucid explanations. *Major emphasis on three-dimensional biochemistry. Unique computer-generated stereo views depict the conformation of biomolecules. A free stereo viewer is included with each text.

What’s in Your Genome? describes the functional regions of the human genome, the evidence that 90% of it is junk DNA, and the reasons this evidence has not been widely accepted by the popular press and much of the scientific community.\nThe human genome contains about 25,000 protein-coding and noncoding genes and many other functional elements, such as origins of replication, regulatory elements, and centromeres. Functional elements occupy only about 10 percent of the more than three billion base pairs in the human genome. Much of the rest is composed of ancient fragments of broken genes, transposons, and viruses. Almost all of this is thought to be junk DNA, based on evidence that dates back fifty years. 
This conclusion is controversial. What’s in Your Genome? describes the arguments on both sides of the debate and attempts to explain the reasoning behind those different points of view. The book corrects a number of false narratives that have arisen in recent years and examines how they have affected the debate over junk DNA. In addition, Laurence A. Moran focuses on scientific misconceptions and misinformation and on how the junk DNA controversy has been incorrectly portrayed in both the scientific literature and the popular press. Tracing the earliest indications of junk DNA back to the 1960s, the book explains the success of nearly neutral theory and the importance of random genetic drift, which gave rise to the view that evolution produces sloppy genomes full of junk DNA. What’s in Your Genome? aims to offer the most accurate and current account of the human genome.
