Bibliotekernes beskrivelse

Since its first edition in 1975, this extraordinary textbook has helped shape the way that biochemistry is taught, and has become one of the most trusted books in the field. It offers exceptionally clear writing, innovative graphics, coverage of the latest research techniques and advances, and a signature emphasis on physiological and medical relevance. The seventh edition has been updated throughout, including many new advances on genetic regulation, and revamped coverage of the integration of metabolism in the context of diet and obesity. Numerous new medical examples have been added throughout to make biochemistry real and relevant to students. The addition of new contributing author Gregory Gatto, an active pharmaceutical researcher at GlaxoSmithKline, ensures that the seventh edition presents the latest techniques that students need to understand in biochemistry research today. The end-of-chapter problems have also been revised and updated, providing students with great new exercises to test their understanding. The book is supported by a companion website (www.whfreeman.com/berg7e) which provides a variety of tools to aid understanding and learning including concept-based tutorials, animated techniques, self-assessment tools, and living figures that allow protein structures to be explored in 3-D.

SAXO's beskrivelse

NB: Bogen er på engelsk.
Siden den første udgave i 1975, har denne ekstraordinære bog hjulpet med at skabe den måde biokemi indlæres på, og er dermed blevet en af de mest pålidelige bøger på feltet. Den tilbyder enestående letfattelig skrivning, innovativ grafik, dækning af de seneste undersøgelsesmetoder og fremskridt, og et betydningsfuld fokus på fysiologisk og medicinsk relevans.

Denne syvende version af bogen, er blevet ajourført fuldt ud, med bl.a. mange nye fremskridt på genetisk regulering, og moderniseret dækning af integrationen af stofskiftet i forbindelse med kost og fedme. Bogen indeholder talrige medicinske eksempler, der er blevet tilføjet for at gøre biokemi reelt og relevant for studerende. Tilførslen af den nye medforfattet Gregory Gatto, aktiv farmaceutisk forsker hos GlaxoSmithKline, sikrer at syvende version af bogen, præsenterer de nyeste teknikker, som de studeren er nødt til at forstå i biokemiforskningen i dag. Problemerne i slutningen af bogen, er også blevet revideret og opdateret, for at give de studerende fantastiske nye øvelser for at afprøve deres forståelse.

Bogen er støttet op af en hjemmeside (www.whfreeman.com/berg7e), der indeholder en række værktøjer til at støtte forståelsen og indlæringen, herunder koncept-baserede guides, animerede teknikker, selvevalueringsteknikker, og levende figurer, der giver mulighed for at undersøge proteinstrukturer i 3D.
