This text presents the biochemistry of mammalian cells, as well as some prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, relates biochemical events at the cellular level to the physiological processes occurring in the whole animal, and cites examples of abnormal biochemical processes in human disease. Topics have been selected to cover essential areas of biochemistry and physiological chemistry for advanced undergraduate, graduate, and especially professional school courses in biochemistry. Sections cover the structure of macromolecules, transmission of information, functions of proteins, metabolic pathways and their control, and physiological processes. The text is enhanced by case examples, boxes on clinical correlations, and quizzes. Many new figures have been added to this edition. Devlin is professor emeritus of biochemistry at the School of Medicine of MCP-Hahnemann University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
