The Biochemistry Student Companion

Biochemistry is very time-consuming, and spending only one or two nights studying for an exam is a recipe for disaster. This Companion is designed to help students cope with the volume of detail in a biochemistry course. It is carefully arranged so that the material matches the content of Biochemistry: A Short Course, Fourth Edition. Each chapter in this Companion consists of an Introduction, Learning Objectives, a Self-Test, Answers to Self-Test, Problems, and Answers to Problems.

This is the Student Companion to accompany Fundamentals of Biochemistry, 5th Edition. Voet, Voet and Pratt’s Fundamentals of Biochemistry, 5th Edition addresses the enormous advances in biochemistry, particularly in the areas of structural biology and Bioinformatics, by providing a solid biochemical foundation that is rooted in chemistry to prepare students for the scientific challenges of the future. While continuing in its tradition of presenting complete and balanced coverage that is clearly written and relevant to human health and disease, Fundamentals of Biochemistry, 5e includes new pedagogy and enhanced visuals that provide a pathway for student learning.

Voet and Pratt's 4th edition of Principles of Biochemistry, challenges readers to better understand the chemistry behind the biological structure and reactions occurring in living systems. The latest edition continues this tradition, and additionally incorporates coverage of recent research and an expanded focus on preparing and supporting students throughout the course. With the addition of new conceptual assessment content to WileyPLUS, providing the opportunity to assess conceptual understanding of key introductory biochemistry concepts and retrain themselves on their misconceptions WileyPLUS sold separately from text.

This Student Companion offers Chapter Learning Objectives and Summary; Self-Assessment Problems, including multiple-choice, short-answer, matching questions, and challenge problems, and their answers; and expanded Solutions to end-of-chapter problems in the textbook.

A Student Companion is a purpose-oriented, practical laboratory manual for students pursuing biochemistry as a subject module at various universities. This book presents a concise account of biochemical experiments based on a concept-oriented approach. An important intent in designing this book is to fortify the students' ability to perform an experiment in the laboratory. The coverage of the subject area includes complete experimental procedures and workouts in the qualitative & quantitative biochemical analysis, enzymology, biochemical separation techniques, biochemical preparations, clinical biochemistry, immunoanalytical techniques and food biochemistry. Due emphasis has been given to laboratory safety & hygiene. This book will be of interest to a wide audience ranging from students & instructors to researchers in the field.
