"Includes 16 case histories"
Clear, concise, and in full color, "Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry" is unrivaled in its ability to clarify the link between biochemistry and the molecular basis of disease. Combining outstanding full-color illustrations with integrated coverage of biochemical diseases and clinical information, "Harper's" offers an organization and careful balance of detail and brevity not found in any other text on the subject.
Following two introductory chapters, the text is divided into six main sections:
Section I addresses the structures and functions of proteins and enzymes.
Section II explains how various cellular reactions utilize or release energy and traces the pathways by which carbohydrates and lipids are synthesized and degraded.
Section III covers the amino acids, their metabolic fates, certain features of protein catabolism, and the biochemistry of the porphyrins and bile pigments.
Section IV describes the structure and function of nucleotides and nucleic acids, DNA replication and repair, RNA synthesis and modification, protein synthesis, the principles of recombinant DNA technology, and new understanding of how gene expression is regulated. Section V deals with aspects of extracellular and intracellular communication.
Section VI includes fifteen special topics, ranging from nutrition, digestion and absorption to the biochemistry of aging
New to this edition: New chapters on Aging, Cancer, and Clinical Chemistry Every chapter has been updated to reflect the latest advances in knowledge and technology Each chapter now begins with a statement of objectives, followed by a brief discussion of the biomedical importance of topics discussed within the chapter 250 multiple-choice questions to test your knowledge and comprehension Increased number of tables that encapsulate important information, such as vitamin and mineral requirements

かっしぃReviewed in Japan on 4 October 2013
4.0 out of 5 stars 化学的な側面からの生化学の記述が少ないが、臨床と生化学との関連を学ぶには良い教科書だと思う。
Verified Purchase僕は薬学部5年生で、医薬品化学講座に配属しています。
化学的な側面から臨床を考えることの多い僕個人の意見・感想として、以下にレビューを書きたいと思います。
生化学は様々な分野の基礎となる重要な学問領域です。
なので多くの学生が生化学を学ぶことになるとは思いますが、生化学の教科書にはそれぞれの特徴(個性)があるように思えます。
たとえばヴォートやストライヤーは化学的な色合いが強く、レーニンジャーは生物学的な要素が強いように思えます。
そして本書のハーパー生化学は、医学や臨床応用の要素が強く、また、レーニンジャーやヴォートよりも生化学的な(より専門的な)内容は薄いように思います。
レーニンジャーなどと比べて図表やイラストの数が少なく、文章で理解することが中心となるので、その点に関しても読者の向き不向きがあると思います。
けして悪い教科書ではなく、良書であるとは思いますが、個人的には化学的な要素が薄いことに対して不満を感じたので☆4つとしました。
研究ではなく実臨床を志す医学生や看護学部の学生向きの生化学の教科書として優れていると思います。(各章のはじめに、章の内容がどのように臨床と結びつくのかが説明されています。)

5.0 out of 5 stars great book
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI used this book as a complimentary book for my biochemistry class and it is great! Of all the biochemistry books I've seen, this one has the best pictures that show the metabolic pathways including ALL the details that go with them in a neat display. All chapters in this book start with a simple example of medical relevant topic that make the chapter more motivating to study.
