  • Overview
  • Resources for Instructors
  • Resources for Students
The Sixth Edition of Devlin’s Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations provides comprehensive, in-depth coverage of the subject and its applications in one completely revised and updated volume. It presents the biochemistry of mammalian cells, relates events at the cellular level to physiological processes in the whole animal, and cites examples of human diseases resulting from aberrant biochemical processes. Thorough and up-to-date, this revision retains the superior scope and pedagogy of previous editions while adding and expanding coverage of current relevance and interest.

Reviews
"This textbook is a well used standard…appreciated by professionals." (E-STREAMS, September 2007)

"This is an excellent teaching volume, which could readily be used not only be undergraduates and graduate students but also by fellows in clinical chemistry training programs." (Clinical Chemistry, October 2006)

"Recommended as a primary teaching text in Biochemistry courses: noted for its depth and organization, well-written and grand in scope, the chapters moving at a perfect pace to give the student a lasting lesson in the biochemical processes." (Electric Review, September/October 2006)

"...comprehensive and...appropriately updated. It should continue to help medical students see the relevance of biochemistry to medicine, which will only increase during their future careers. (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, May/June 2006)
