Integrative Human Biochemistry: A Textbook for Medical Biochemistry

This book covers in detail the mechanisms for how energy is managed in the human body. The basic principles that elucidate the reactivity and physical interactions of matter are addressed and quantified with simple approaches. Metabolic regulation is highlighted and key historical experiments are explained to further illustrate how the human body functions at molecular level. Three-dimensional representations of molecules are presented throughout the book so molecules can be viewed as unique entities in their shape and function.

This book also:

· Elucidates the foundations of molecular events

· Broadens readers’ understanding of key historical experiments to further illustrate how the human body functions at molecular level

· Provides three-dimensional representations of molecules throughout the book

Advance Praise for Integrative Human Biochemistry

“This textbook provides a modern and integrative perspective of human biochemistry and will be a faithful companion to health science studentsfollowing curricula in which this discipline is addressed. This textbook will be a most useful tool for the teaching community.”
