You are about to embark on a voyage of discovery, that of the chemistry of life. This body of knowledge, compiled by the skilled and dedicated efforts of many tens of thousands of researchers over more than a century, has had an enormous impact on medicine, agriculture, and the way we view ourselves and our world. It forms an epic and awe-inspiring tale that has provided a lifetime of fas¬cination for many of those who study it. Before you begin your voyage, we have a few words of advice. The vocabulary of biochemistry, to which you will be introduced here, is nearly as rich as that of a foreign language, and many chapters build on their predecessors. Thus, it is important to keep your stud¬ies current with the course lectures. The end-of-chapter materials, including Study Exercises and Problems, are designed to aid you in mastering and applying principles. Try to complete the Problems before you look at the Solutions. Avail yourselves of additional in¬formation in the supplements, on the Internet, and at your library, using the References as a guide. Biochemistry is a challenging sub¬ject that yields to hard work and diligence. The more effort you put into learning the material, the more rewarding these efforts will be. Enjoy meeting the challenge, and bon voyage!
