Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry: Fourth edition

Product Information

It may be much better to read a biochemistry book that explains the topics more than your professor or lecturer did in class. Lehninger’s Principles of Biochemistry book is not too advanced and easier to read and understand. Purpose: The goal is to provide students with a thorough biochemistry text. Given the overall importance of modern biochemistry (broadly writ), this is a worthwhile objective. In general, the goals are met. The ‘Interactive Metabolic Map’ allows students to navigate and zoom between overviews and detailed views of the most commonly taught metabolic pathways. Embedded Tours take students through the pathways step-by-step, helping them to both visualize concepts in isolation and understand how concepts are connected. By examining the pathways in this way, students are better equipped to understand the meaning of those connections. Migration Tool to move your assignments from your previous Sapling Course into your new Achieve course

All content has been streamlined so the text is focused on what is most important and useful to modern students and for future reference, and organized around principles for better understanding, providing a new learning path for students, through the emphasis on the fundamental principles of biochemistry. Animated Techniques are short animations of laboraatory techniques. Designed to provide students with an overview of protocol, these animations give students a conceptual understanding of what is happening at the chemical level.
