Product Review
"This is an great teaching volume, which could readily be used not only be undergraduates and graduate students but also by fellows in clinical chemistry training programs." (Clinical Chemistry, October 2006) "Recommended as a primary teaching text in
Biochemistry courses: noted for its depth and organization, well-written and grand in scope, the chapters moving at a perfect pace to give the student a lasting lesson in the biochemical processes." (Electric Review, September/October 2006) "comprehensive andappropriately updated. It should continue to help medical students see the relevance of
Biochemistry to medicine, which will only increase during their future careers. (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, May/June 2006)

Product Description
Thomas M. Devlin's
Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations presents the
Biochemistry of mammalian cells, relates events at a cellular level to the subsequent physiological processes in the whole animal, and cites examples of human diseases derived from aberrant biochemical processes. The organization and content are tied together to provide students with the complete picture of
Biochemistry and how it relates to humans. Loaded with new material and chapters and brimming with detailed, full-color illustrations that clearly explain associated concepts, this sixth edition is an indispensable tool for students and professionals in the medical or health sciences.
Key Features of the Sixth Edition: - Over 250 Clinical Correlations highlighting the significance of the Biochemistry to clinical conditions and diseases
- MCAT-Style Questions with annontated answers in every chapter - in a format similar to that used by the National Board of Medical Examiners
- More than 1,200 high-quality, full-color illustrations
- A concise appendix reviewing important Organic Chemistry Concepts
New to the Sixth Edition: - Fully Updated with a significant revision of all chapters and major topics
- Two new chapters: basics of Signal Transduction and Cell Cycle, Programmed Cell Death, and Cancer
- A Glossary that explains important biochemical terms New sections on the Basal Lamina Protein Complex and Molecular Motors
Reader ReviewsWe used this book teaching first year medical school biochemistry. The clinical correlations are well done, but the real strengh of the book lies in the sections on metabolic interrelationships. It is often confusing to the medical student to learn a pathway, and the the metabolic controls of the pathway, and then the added complexity that this system works differently in different tissues. This physiological complexity (which is the layer of integration where diagnosis really happens) is tackled head on in the first few chapters. This helps keep the student oriented to the system (the patient) and not get totally lost in the trees of enzyme names and co-factors. I wish this book had been around when I went through medical school. duke out
