| Résumé : | Essential Biochemistry is a comprehensive undergraduate textbook that introduces the core principles of biochemistry by focusing on the chemical foundations of biological systems. It is organized into four major parts: the foundations of biochemistry (covering basic chemical principles and the behavior of water); molecular structure and function (examining nucleic acids, amino acids, protein structure and function, enzymes, lipids, membranes, transport mechanisms, signaling, and carbohydrates); metabolism (including bioenergetics, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and regulation of fuel metabolism); and genetic information (exploring DNA replication and repair, transcription, RNA processing, and protein synthesis). Throughout, the book emphasizes real‑world application with numerous Key Concepts, Concept Checks, and problem‑solving opportunities designed to reinforce understanding. This international adaptation also includes up‑to‑date content such as Ramachandran diagrams, lysozymes, steroid hormones, and integrated discussions of SARS‑CoV‑2/COVID‑19 to demonstrate interdisciplinary responses to global health challenges. The text balances depth with clarity, making it suitable for biology, pre‑medical, and allied health students seeking both conceptual insight and practical skills in biochemistry. |
