""It's not every day that one picks up a textbook that can claim to
occupy a unique niche, given the multitude of scientific textbooks
that are vying for a medical readership. However, with the recent
publication of 'Pain-Free Biochemistry: An Essential Guide for the
Health Sciences', which is specifically aimed at students of
medicine and nursing, one could be left wondering just why nobody
thought of this sooner."" -Irish Medical Times, September 14, 2010
If you are an undergraduate nursing or healthcare student about
to embark on a short course in biochemistry and feel daunted by the
prospect because you've done very little chemistry in the past,
found it difficult or studied it so long ago you've forgotten it
all, then this is the book for you. Equally, if clinical practice
has brought you back to biochemistry just when you were hoping you
could forget it all, this could be your lifeline
Having taught biochemistry to all sorts of students, from nurses
to chemical engineers, for more than 30 years, Professor Paul Engel
knows how to take the 'pain' out of your studies. For those who are
a bit wobbly on molecules, bonds, ions, etc. this text also has
just enough supporting chemistry slipped in where appropriate to
help things make sense. Accessible, enjoyable to read and packed
with a wealth of clinical examples from heart disease to cancer and
blood clotting to antibiotics, this handy textbook will reveal how
biochemistry is fundamental to clinical practice and everyday life.
Drugs, diet, disease, DNA - it all comes down to biochemistry.
Key Features: Easy to digest: 'Bite sized' topics lead you
through essential biochemistry without going into intimidating
detail. Doesn't assume you've studied chemistry before: Focuses on
key concepts and provides all the basic chemistry you might need.
Colour coded: Specially designed so you can see, at a glance, which
chapters focus on underpinning chemistry, which on basic
biochemistry and which on clinical applications. Clinically
relevant: Topical examples throughout the text show how getting to
grips with biochemistry will help you succeed in healthcare
practice. Reinforces your learning: Includes numerous self-test
questions with answers throughout. Companion website includes: A
complete set of figures from within the book.Extended MCQs with
answers and further explanation where relevant.
