Biochemistry (with Biochemistrynow and Infotrac)

From Book News, Inc.
While illustrating the principles that govern the structure, function, and interactions of biological molecules, this textbook describes the molecular components of cells, the catalytic power of enzymes, the metabolic pathways that orchestrate the synthetic and degradative chemistry of life, and the storage and transmission of genetic information in organisms. The third edition adds a chapter on the protein life cycle and reports recent RNA findings.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR


Book Description
In Biochemistry, the questions can be more revealing than the answers. This Third Edition offers a unique conceptual and organizing framework, "Essential Questions." Guiding students through the density of the material by the use of section head questions, supporting concept statements, and summaries, this focused approach is supported by unparalleled text/media integration through BiochemistryNow, providing students with a seamless learning system. Beautifully and consistently illustrated, the Third Edition gives science majors the most current presentation of biochemistry available. Written by a chemist and a biologist, the book presents biochemistry from balanced perspectives.

About the Author
Reginald H. Garrett was educated in the Baltimore city public schools and at the John Hopkins University, where he received his Ph.D. in biology in 1968. Since that time, he has been at the University of Virginia, where he is currently Professor of Biology. He is the author of numerous papers and review articles on biochemical, genetic, and molecular biological aspects of inorganic nitrogen metabolism. Since 1964, his research interests have centered on the pathway of nitrate assimilation in filamentous fungi. His investigations have contributed substantially to our understanding of the enzymology, genetics, and regulation of this major pathway of biological nitrogen acquisition. His research has been supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and private industry. He is a former Fulbright Scholar and has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Cambridge on two sabbatical occasions. He has taught biochemistry at the University of Virginia for 30 years. He is a member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
