Textbook of Biochemistry With Clinical Correlations

About this book

This newly revised and updated fifth edition of Devlins Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations presents the biochemistry of mammalian cells relates events at the cellular level to physiological processes in the whole animal and cites examples of human diseases derived from aberrant biochemical processes. This edition significantly expands the clinical correlation that highlight the significance of biochemistry to specific clinical problems. Full-color illustrations provide clear explanations for the concepts discussed and end-of-chapter questions and answers act as challenging study material.
