With its distinctive method of topic synthesis, visual aids, and real-world connections, Biochemistry: Concepts and Connections captivates students. The writing team gives students a deep, chemical understanding of biological processes while also fostering quantitative thinking skills. The book places a strong emphasis on basic ideas and relationships while demonstrating how biochemistry is applied in real-world settings in the fields of forensics, agriculture, environmental science, and medicine.
With even more comprehensive biochemistry-specific content integrated into MasteringTM Chemistry, the recently revised 2nd Edition offers students an interactive learning environment. While Interactive Case Studies help students make the connection between course material and real-world applications by having them examine real scientific data from primary literature, New Threshold Concept Tutorials assist students in mastering the most difficult and crucial concepts in biochemistry. The Second Edition offers a fluid
About the Author
Dean R. Appling is the Lester J. Reed Professor of Biochemistry and the Associate Dean for Research and Facilities for the College of Natural Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin, where he has taught and done research for the past 29 years. Dean earned his B.S. in Biology from Texas A&M University (1977) and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Vanderbilt University (1981). The Appling laboratory studies the organization and regulation of metabolic pathways in eukaryotes, focusing on folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism. The lab is particularly interested in understanding how one-carbon metabolism is organized in mitochondria, as these organelles are central players in many human diseases. In addition to coauthoring Biochemistry, Fourth Edition, a textbook for majors and graduate students, Dean has published over 60 scientific papers and book chapters.
