In the new edition of Biochemistry, instructors will see the all the hallmark features that made Lubert Stryer's
original editions continual bestsellers for the undergraduate biochemistry course: exceptional clarity and concision,
a more biological focus, cutting-edge content, and an elegant, uncluttered design. Accomplished in both the classroom
and the laboratory, coauthors Jeremy Berg and John Tymoczko draw on the field's dynamic research core to illustrate
the fundamental ideas of the discipline, communicating in a way that is both supremely accessible and enlivened
by the latest breakthroughs in the field.
