In writing this seventh edition of Biochemistry, we have balanced the desire to present up-to-the minute advances with the need to make biochemistry as clear and engaging as possible for the student approaching the subject for the first time. Instructors and students have long relied on Biochemistry for: Clear writing The language of biochemistry is made as accessible as possible. A straightforward and logical organization leads the reader through processes and helps navigate complex pathways and mechanisms. Single-concept illustrations Illustrations in this book address one point at a time so that each illustration clearly tells the story of a mechanism, pathway, or process without the distraction of excess detail. Physiological relevance Biochemistry is the study of life on the smallest scale, and it has always been our goal to help students connect biochemistry to their own lives. Pathways and processes are presented in a physiological context so that the reader can see how biochemistry works in different parts of the body and under different environmental and hormonal conditions. Clinical insights Wherever appropriate, pathways and mechanisms are applied to health and disease. These applications show students how biochemistry is relevant to them while reinforcing the concepts that they have just leamed. (For a full list, see p. xi.) Evolutionary perspective Evolution is evident in the structures and pathways of biochemistry and is woven into the narrative of the textbook. (For a full list, see p. x.)
