Biochemistry: The Chemical Reactions of Living Cells

摘要: Biochemistry: The Chemical Reactions of Living Cells, Second Edition provides a reliable source information about the fascinating chemical reactions taking place in human body and living world around us. Enlarged, updated, improved, this second edition, like first, will be widely regarded as most comprehensive all biochemistry texts. This is only text on market sufficiently detailed to used by undergraduates, graduate students professional workers. title quite comprehensive, strong foundations, thoroughly referenced.The renowned author, David Metzler has written readable accessible revision which wealth unavailable textbooks. edition huge amount biochemical substantial depth. book describes amazingly complex structures compounds that make up cell, forces hold them together, allow for recognition, signaling, movement. actions protein RNA enzymes, vitamins, coenzymes, metal ions catalysis these emphasized. examination mechanisms provide basis thorough treatment biosynthesis breakdown food cell constituents. full body, its genome, action muscles, eyes, brain. It also deals with us considering metabolism bacteria, toxins, antibiotics, specialized made plants, photosynthesis, luminescence fireflies, many other topics.This details life -- ofproteins, DNA, RNA, polysaccharides, lipids, ways "building blocks" are assembled into clusters, fibrils, tubules, membranes, ribosomes, mitochondria, outer coats. covers fungi, animals; structural chemistry proteins, walls, isoprenoid compounds, polyketides, alkaloids; enzyme mechanisms, kinetics, metalloenzymes; metabolism, including synthesis proteins; effects light, defense mechanisms.
