Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry

This text is the classic introduction to biochemistry that brings clarity and coherence to a complex discipline, always made fresh by combining the field’s definitive advances with the ability to reach students. Thoroughly updated, with new or greatly revised sections, the text also includes new pedagogy and more emphasis on medical relevance.
