Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry: Fourth edition

Product Information

Interactive Molecular Figures allow students to view and interact with textbook illustrations of protein structures online in interactive 3-D models for a better understanding of their three-dimensional structures. Where possible, figures have been simplified, and many figures now have step-by-step annotations, reducing caption length. The Lehninger 8e digital program builds on the focus on principles, with resources ideal for in-person lecture-based to fully online courses. Increased emphasis on the interdependence of life forms in global cycles of energy I STRUCTURE AND CATALYSIS

In-text Worked Examples take students through particular difficult equations to improve their quantitative problem-solving skills.

Instructor Activity Guides, developed with instructors and tied to the principles framework, include both instructor material and assessable student material Protein Targeting and Degradation Box 27–1 Exceptions That Prove the Rule: Natural Variations in the Genetic Code Box 27–2 From an RNA World to a Protein World Box 27–3 Natural and Unnatural Expansion of the Genetic Code Box 27–4 Induced Variation in the Genetic Code: Nonsense Suppression

Course and book-specific resources including adaptive quizzing (Learning Curve) to personalize the experience for studentsExpanded and integrated treatment of local signaling circuits, including AKAPs and signaling complexes that include protein kinase A, adenylyl cyclase, and phosphodiesterase, and localized puffs and waves of Ca2+ Clear writing and illustrations…Clear explanations of difficult concepts…Clear communication of the ways in biochemistry is currently understood and practiced. For over 35 years, in edition after bestselling edition, Principles of Biochemistry has put those defining principles into practice, guiding students through a coherent introduction to the essentials of biochemistry without overwhelming them. Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry 8e continues to help students navigate the complex discipline of biochemistry with a clear and coherent presentation. Renowned authors David Nelson, Michael Cox, and new co-author Aaron Hoskins have focused this eighth edition around the fundamental principles to help students understand and navigate the most important aspects of biochemistry. Text features and digital resources in the new Achieve platform emphasize this focus on the principles, while coverage of recent discoveries and the most up-to-date research provide fascinating context for learning the dynamic discipline of biochemistry.
