TEXTBOOK OF BIOCHEMISTRY WITH CLINICAL CORRELATIONS Fifth Edition Thomas M. Devlin This newly revised and updated fifth edition of Devlins Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations presents the biochemistry of mammalian cells, relates events at the cellular level to physiological processes in the whole animal, and cites examples of human diseases derived from aberrant biochemical processes. This edition significantly expands the clinical correlation that highlight the significance of biochemistry to specific clinical problems. Full-color illustrations provide clear explanations for the concepts discussed, and end-of-chapter questions and answers act as challenging study material. Reorganized into five practical sections, Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations covers these topics and much more: Structure of macromoleculesDNA, RNA, and protein structure Information transmissionreplication, transcription, protein synthesis, and control of gene expression Functions of proteinsprotein families, enzymes, membrane structure, and transport mechanisms Metabolic pathways and their controlcarbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, and nucleotide metabolism Physiological processeshormone and signal transduction, biochemistry of nervous tissue, muscle vision, coagulation and digestion, and principles of nutrition

This set combines: An Introduction to Human Molecular Genetics, Second Edition A comprehensive text, which covers the genetic principles governing human inherited diseases. * Includes a fully expanded and rewritten section on clinical genetics, covering human gene therapy through to diagnostic testing, molecular screening, and treatment. * Richly illustrated throughout with clear, informative figures. * Contains new chapters on complex genetic disorders, genomic imprinting and epigenetics, human population genetics, and human genetic diversity. Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations, Sixth Edition Devlin's textbook presents the biochemistry of mammalian cells, relates events at a cellular level to the subsequent physiological processes in the whole animal, and cites examples of human diseases derived from aberrant biochemical processes. The organization and content aim to provide students with the complete picture of biochemistry and how it relates to humans. * Contains questions with explained answers at the end of every chapter. Questions are formatted after the board examinations for medical school. * Includes a concise appendix reviewing important organic chemistry concepts. * Contains detailed, full-colour illustrations that clearly explain the associated concepts. New to the sixth edition: * Every chapter has been updated with the latest information and correlations/questions. * A new chapter focusing on cell biology has been added. * A glossary of important terms. * Incorporates Wiley PLUS.
