【簡介】 Biochemistry, An Integrative Approach with Expanded Topics, offers a unique approach to the subject, emphasizing problem-solving and critical thinking over rote memorization. It integrates subjects of interest to undergraduates majoring in, biochemistry, life science, and beyond while preserving a chemical perspective. The book covers DNA, RNA, gene regulation, synthetic proteins, omics, plant biochemistry, and more. Key concepts such as metabolism, are introduced and then revisited and cross-referenced throughout the text to establish pattern recognition and help students commit their new knowledge to long-term memory. Emphasis is also laid on problem-solving and reasoning skills essential to life sciences, including data analysis and research assessment. This edition of the book aims to empower students studying a range of disciplines to develop a lasting foundation in biochemistry and metabolism. 【目錄】 1 The Chemical Foundations of Biochemistry 2 Nucleic Acids 3 Proteins I: An Introduction to Protein Structure, Function, and its Purification 4 Proteins II: Enzymes 5 Membranes and an Introduction to Signal Transduction 6 Carbohydrates I: Mono- and Disaccharides, Glycolysis, Gluconeogenesis, and the Fates of Pyruvate 7 The Common Catabolic Pathway 8 Carbohydrates II 9 Lipids I: Fatty Acids, Steroids, and Eicosanoids; Beta-Oxidation and Fatty Acid Biosynthesis 10 Lipids II: Metabolism and Transport of Complex Lipids 11 Amino Acid and Amine Metabolism 12 Regulation and Integration of Metabolism 13 Nucleotide and Deoxynucleotide Metabolism 14 DNA Replication, Damage, and Repair 15 RNA Synthesis and Processing 16 Protein Biosynthesis 17 Control and Regulation of Gene Expression 18 Determination of Macromolecular Structure 19 Protein Production, Engineering and Folding 20 Bioinformatics and Omics 21 Signal Transduction 22 Protein Trafficking 23 Photosynthesis and Nitrogen Fixation
