Index.
- A review of genetics has been moved from Chapter 27 to Chapter 1
- A new chapter, Chapter 5: Nucleic Acids, Gene Expression, and Recombinant DNA Technology
- Chapter 7, Covalent Structures of Proteins and Nucleic Acids, extensively revised and includes new sections on primary structure determination of nucleic acids, bioinformatics, and chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides
- Major revision of Chapter 9: Protein Folding, Dynamics and Structural Evolution including a new section on conformational diseases
- New section in Chapter 12, Lipids and Membranes on membrane assembly and protein targeting
- New section in Chapter 15, Enzymatic Catalysis, on Drug Design
- New Chapter 19, Signal Transduction
- Major revision of Chapter 28, Nucleotide Metabolism
- Integrated Biochemical Interactions CD provides a comprehensive new media package. Includes 31 Guided Explorations, 76 Animated Figures, and 60 Interactive Exercises that will enrich study from the text - included in every text.
- As in past editions, the chemical basis of modern Biochemistry is presented in a thorough and uncompromising fashion. Don and Judy Voet are scholars and teachers who have dedicated their careers to their students and this text.
- A splendid art program of over 3000 figures presents both classical and contemporary concepts, experiments, and techniques.
- A lucid and elegant writing style captures the historical foundations of contemporary Biochemistry focusing on the scientific process rather than presenting Biochemistry as a body of static facts isolated from the flesh-and-blood work of experimentalists.
- Themes throughout the text integrate a vast amount of material. The unity of evolutionary processes, the interdependence of elaborate biological control systems and cascades, and the important biomedical consequences of understanding life at the molecular level are themes woven into the text to give students an intellectually satisfying journey, not just a dry presentation of topics and techniques.
- A thorough Solutions Manual prepared by the authors, a complete Instructors Resource CD containing all the art in the text suitable for presentation in digital classrooms, and a set of transparencies of key figures are provided to enrich teaching and learning from this text.
