Gain a full understanding of the principles of biochemistry as it relates to clinical medicine. The Thirty-First Edition of Harper’s Illustrated Biochemistry continues to emphasize the link between biochemistry and the understanding of disease states disease pathology and the practice of medicine. Featuring a full-color presentation and numerous medically relevant examples, Harper’s presents a clear succinct review of the fundamentals of biochemistry that every student must understand in order to succeed in medical school. All 58 chapters help you understand the medical relevance of biochemistry:

Full-color presentation includes more than 600 illustrationsCase studies emphasize the clinical relevance of biochemistryNEW CHAPTER on Biochemistry of Transition Metals addresses the importance and overall pervasiveness of transition metalsReview Questions follow each of the eleven sectionsBoxed Objectives define the goals of each chapterTables encapsulate important informationEvery chapter includes a section on the biomedical importance of a given topic

NEW TO THIS EDITION:

Emphasis throughout on the integral relationship between biochemistry and disease diagnostic pathology and medical practiceHundreds of references to disease states throughoutNew chapter addressing the biochemical roles of transition metalsMany updated review questionsFrequent tables summarizing key links to disease statesNew text on cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM)Cover picture of the protein structure of the Zika virus solved by cryo-EM

Applauded by medical students and online reviewers for its currency and engaging style Harper’s Illustrated Biochemistry is essential for USMLE® review and the single-best reference for learning the clinical relevance of any biochemistry topic.
