Moore, John T.,
Biochemistry for dummies / John T. Moore, Richard H. Langley. - Third edition. - Hoboken, New Jersey : John Wiley & Sons, Inc., c2022. - xii, 348 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm.
Includes index.
Part 1 Setting the stage: basic biochemistry concepts -- Chapter 1 Biochemistry: what you need to know and why -- Chapter 2 Seems so basic: water chemistry and pH -- Chapter 3 Fun with carbon: organic chemistry -- Part 2 The meat of biochemistry: proteins -- Chapter 4 Amino acids: the building blocks of protein -- Chapter 5 Protein structure and function -- Chapter 6 Enzyme kinetics: getting there faster -- Part 3 Carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and more, oh my! -- Chapter 7 What we crave: carbohydrates -- Chapter 8 Lipids and membranes -- Chapter 9 Nucleic acids and the code of life -- Chapter 10 Vitamins: both simple and complex -- Chapter 11 Hormones: the body's messengers -- Part 4 Bioenergetics and pathways -- Chapter 12 Life and energy -- Chapter 13 ATP: the body's monetary system -- Chapter 14 Smelly biochemistry: nitrogen in biological systems -- Part 5 Genetics: why we are what we are -- Chapter 15 Photocopying DNA -- Chapter 16 Transcribe this! RNA transcription -- Chapter 17 Translation: Protein synthesis -- Part 6 The part of tens -- Chapter 18 Ten great applications of biochemistry -- Chapter 18 Ten biochemistry careers.
"It’s alive! It’s alive! (Thanks to biochemistry, that is.)
Biochemistry is the science of the chemical processes that allow for…well…life. If it moves, breathes, eats, or sleeps, biochemistry can probably explain how. So, it stands to reason that the fundamentals of biochemistry can get a little complicated.
In Biochemistry For Dummies, you’ll explore the carbons, proteins, and cellular systems that make up the biochemical processes that create and sustain life of all kinds. Perfect for students majoring in biology, chemistry, pre-med, health-services, and other science-related fields, this book tracks a typical college-level biochemistry class. It simplifies and clarifies the subject with easy-to-follow diagrams and real-world examples." --Provided by the publisher
