N2  - Medical Biochemistry combines basic science and clinical medicine in a thorough yet accessible, easy-to-read format, and this new edition reflects the latest information on genetic and molecular biology. A new chapter and additional online case studies cover new areas in the field and help clarify difficult concepts. You'll still get the dynamic, full-color design that makes this biochemistry textbook such an effective resource: complete with case histories, advanced concept boxes, and color illustrations. And, as a Student Consult title, it is fully searchable online with a unique image library, case studies, USMLE-style questions, and online note-taking to enhance your learning experience. Demonstrates the relevance of biochemistry to practice through Clinical Boxes integrated into the text. Provides in-depth coverage of important topics in Advanced Concept Boxes on recent research and more. Explains difficult concepts by working through online case studies that help you apply basic knowledge to clinical practice. Presents the most common lab tests in Clinical Test Boxes that makes referencing and reviewing quick and easy. Offers Active Learning Boxes to allow you to test your knowledge at the end of each chapter and improve retention; This textbook presents human biochemistry in a physiological, rather than a chemical perspective, so it provides medical students with a clinically relevant text. The essential basic science is presented emphasising organ biochemistry
