Netter’s Essential Biochemistry, 1e (Netter Basic Science)

Description:

Concise writing, a focus on clinical applications, and superb illustrations make Netter’s Essential Biochemistry, by Peter Ronner, PhD, the perfect choice for a basic understanding of biochemistry.. A single expert voice, informed by the insights of a team of reviewers, provides continuity throughout the text, presenting essentials of biochemical principles step by step. Summary diagrams help you grasp key concepts quickly, and end-of-chapter questions reinforce key concepts.

Features:

• Provides a highly visual, reader-friendly approach to the challenging area of biochemistry.
• Integrates the clinical perspective throughout the text, giving context and meaning to biochemistry.
• Frames every chapter with helpful synopses and summaries, and ends each chapter with review questions that reinforce major themes.
• Illustrates key concepts with beautifully clear drawings and diagrams of biochemical processes which are supplemented with art from the renowned Netter collection, bridging basic sciences with clinical practice.
