Biochemical Pathways (PDF)

The pathways and networks underlying biological
function

Now in its second edition, Biochemical Pathways continues
to garner praise from students, instructors, and researchers for
its clear, full-color illustrations of the pathways and networks
that determine biological function.

Biochemical Pathways examines the biochemistry of
bacteria, plants, and animals. It offers a quick overview of the
metabolic sequences in biochemical pathways, the chemistry and
enzymology of conversions, the regulation of turnover, the
expression of genes, the immunological interactions, and the
metabolic background of health disorders. A standard set of
conventions is used in all illustrations, enabling readers to
easily gather information and compare the key elements of different
biochemical pathways. For both quick and in-depth understanding,
the book uses a combination of:

* Illustrations integrating many different features of the
reactions and their interrelationships

* Tables listing the important system components and their
function

* Text supplementing and expanding on the illustrated facts

In the second edition, the volume has been expanded by 50
percent. Text and figures have undergone a thorough revision and
update, reflecting the tremendous progress in biochemical knowledge
in recent years. A guide to the relevant biochemical databases
facilitates access to the extensive documentation of scientific
knowledge.

Biochemical Pathways, Second Edition is recommended for
all students and researchers in such fields as biochemistry,
molecular biology, medicine, organic chemistry, and pharmacology.
The book's illustrated pathways aids the reader in understanding
the complex set of biochemical reactions that occur in biological
systems.
