Medical Biochemistry at a Glance. 3rd Edition. At a Glance
Description:
Offering a concise, illustrated summary of biochemistry and its relevance to clinical medicine,
Medical Biochemistry at a Glance is intended for students of medicine and the biomedical sciences such as
nutrition, biochemistry, sports science, medical laboratory sciences, physiotherapy, pharmacy, physiology,
pharmacology, genetics and veterinary science. It also provides a succinct review and reference for medical
practitioners and biomedical scientists who need to quickly refresh their knowledge of medical
biochemistry.
The book is designed as a revision guide for students preparing for examinations and contains topics that
have been identified as 'high–yield' facts for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), Step
1.
This third edition:
- Has been thoroughly revised and updated and is now in full colour throughout
- Is written by the author of the hugely successful Metabolism at a Glance (ISBN 9781405107167)
- Features updated and improved clinical correlates
- Expands its coverage with a new section on Molecular Biology
- Includes a brand new companion website of self–assessment questions and answers at <a href="company
