Understanding Biochemical Pathways: A Pattern-Recognition Approach
provides students with a clear methodology for understanding
metabolic processes, with an emphasis on human metabolic processes.
It focuses on specific pathways of carbohydrate and lipid
metabolism that illustrate how to apply this pattern-recognition
approach. This text presents a "basic recipe" of metabolism to
illustrate the general sequence of reactions that are carried out
in biochemical pathways to move from one oxidation state of carbon
to another. The goal is to give the reader the ability to look at a
reaction and determine the type of reaction based on the
differences in reactants and products, identify the type of enzyme
that would catalyze the reaction, and then name the enzyme based on
enzyme naming rules. The second edition features new Check Your
Knowledge boxes and content summaries within each chapter. The text
also features new content in Chapter 2 on the pawn shop model of
metabolism to explain relationships between prominent metabolic
pathways. Understanding Biochemical Pathways is an excellent
resource for courses and programs in biochemistry, nutrition,
medicine, and nursing.
