Description
The world's most popular biochemistry textbook! The latest Polish translation of Stryer's Biochemistry, based entirely on the eighth American edition. An invaluable source of knowledge about concepts and details of molecular structures, metabolism and laboratory techniques, presented in an accessible yet engaging way. The latest version of the textbook contains a wealth of information on biochemistry, genetics and the physiology of organisms, with particular emphasis on processes occurring in the human body. The authors have focused still more on presenting biochemical topics clearly and efficiently, and they discuss new discoveries that are important for biochemistry. Throughout the textbook, many fundamental concepts have been defined more clearly, with their descriptions reinforced by numerous applications in new scientific research.
Each of the 36 chapters opens with a short table of contents for that chapter and closes with a summary of the material covered. The individual chapters include self-assessment exercises to check understanding, multiple-choice tests, short-answer tests, matching tests, problem-solving exercises, and solutions to all types of exercise. The accessible text and the order in which topics are presented are complemented by illustrations of the individual topics.
The textbook is intended above all for students of biology, medicine, pharmacy, chemistry, biotechnology, bioinformatics and various branches of agriculture, as well as for doctoral students and early-career researchers in these fields.
