Key Features:
  1. All fifty-eight chapters emphasize the medical relevance of biochemistry.
  2. Full-color presentation includes more than 600 illustrations.
  3. Each chapter includes a section on Biomedical Importance and a summary of the topics covered.
  4. Review questions follow each of the eleven sections.
  5. Case studies in every chapter emphasize the clinical relevance to biochemistry.
  6. New coverage of toxic naturally-occurring amino acids; extraterrestrial biomolecules; computer-aided drug design; the role of complement cascade in bacterial and viral infection; secreted mediators of cell-cell signaling between leukocytes; the role of mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils; and the hazard of antioxidants that down-regulate radical signaling for apoptosis and increase risk of cancer.
  7. Applauded by medical students for its current and engaging style, Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry is an essential for USMLE review and the single best reference for learning the clinical relevance of any biochemistry topic.
Summary:
Gain a thorough understanding of the principles of biochemistry and molecular biology as they relate to modern medicine. Includes 16 case histories. Clear, concise, and in full color, Harper's This book unrivaled the ability to clarify the link between biochemistry and the molecular basis of disease. Combining outstanding full-color illustrations with integrated coverage of biochemical diseases and clinical information, Harper's offers an organization and careful balance of detail and brevity not found in any other text on the subject. New to this edition: New chapters on Aging, Cancer, and Clinical Chemistry. Every chapter has been updated to reflect the latest advances in knowledge and technology. Each chapter now begins with a statement of objectives, followed by a brief discussion of the biomedical importance of topics discussed within the chapter. There are 250 multiple-choice questions to test your knowledge and comprehension. Increased number of tables that encapsulate important information, such as vitamin and mineral requirements
Abstract:
Helps you to gain an understanding of the principles of biochemistry and molecular biology as they relate to modern medicine. This title addresses the structures and functions of proteins and enzymes. It includes fifteen special topics, ranging from nutrition, digestion and absorption to the biochemistry of aging
Preface:
The authors and publishers are pleased to present the thirtieth edition of Harper’s Illustrated Biochemistry. The first edition, entitled Harper’s Biochemistry, was published in 1939 under the sole authorship of Dr Harold Harper at the University of California School of Medicine, San Francisco, California. Presently entitled Harpers Illustrated Biochemistry, the book continues, as originally intended, to provide a concise survey of aspects of biochemistry most relevant to the study of medicine. Various authors have contributed to subsequent editions of this medically oriented biochemistry text, which is now observing its 75th year.
