Reviews"The authors' emphasis on the integration of biochemical facts into a biological context is excellent. I welcome the increased depth of chemistry coverage emphasizing the most important reactions. I also welcome the increased connection between biochemistry and human biology. This edition is evolving beautifully. . . . From what I'veseen, I prefer the new McKee textbook to the book that I am currently using." --Christine A. Hrycyna,Purdue University "This text stands out because of its ability to relate human biology and disorders to the understanding of key biochemical concepts. My students appreciate the 'Biochemistry in Perspective' essays in each chapter. Once again McKee has done a fabulous job of providing clear illustrations. I feel the fifth edition has done very well in balancing both the chemical and biological concepts. The revisions will make this great textbook even better!" --Anjuli Datta,Pennsylvania State University "The emphasis on the integration of biochemical facts into a biological context to me is the most important goal. In this manner students can derive the connection between the facts and how they lead to elucidating the principle of the topic being introduced. I like the style: it begins with very simple down-to-earth discussion and gradually gets into the more complex and sophisticated aspects. The vignettes at the beginning of the chapters and the use of Thought Questions at the end are very appealing. The introduction and discussion of a disease directly related to the topic being discussed will stimulate students' interest."--Ralph A. Stephani,St. Johns University "I love the figures, the mechanistic details, and the summaries at the end of the chapters. I like that they are increasing the chemistry. I really like the format of the questions at the end of the chapter. They start out easy and build up in complexity. The Thought Questions push the students to look at the big picture. My students really like the Biochemistry in the Lab sections. They get excited about the connection to current research." --Tamara L., Hendrickson,Wayne State University "I have always appreciated the balance in previous editions, and the inclusion of more chemistry (enzyme mechanisms) is great! Increased relevance is important, too! I appreciate the inclusion of systems biology topics and macromolecular crowding. Essays and boxes add just the right flavor to the text to make it really come alive in a practical kind of way. It is the best one-semester biochemistry book available."--Randolph A. Coleman,College of William & Mary "This text stands out because of its ability to relate human biology and related human disorders in order to facilitate the understanding of key biochemical concepts. My students appreciate the Biochemistry in Perspective essays in each chapter. The new revisions will make this great textbook even better!"--Bhaskar Datta,Missouri State University, "The authors' emphasis on the integration of biochemical facts into a biological context is excellent.

To ensure that all students are sufficiently prepared for acquiring a meaningful understanding of biochemistry, the first four chapters - now streamlined for easier coverage and self-study assignment - review the principles of relevant topics such as organic functional groups, noncovalent bonding, thermodynamics, and cell structure. *Chemical and Biological Principles in Balance. Comprehensive coverage offers the flexibility for each instructor to decide how much chemistry or biology to present. Chemical mechanisms are always presented within the physiological context of the organism. *Real-World Relevance. Because students who take the survey of biochemistry course come from a range of backgrounds and have diverse career goals, the fifth edition consistently demonstrates the fascinating connections between biochemical principles and the fields of medicine, nutrition, agriculture, bioengineering, and forensics. *The most robust Problem-Solving Program available. . In-chapter "Worked Problems" illustrate how quantitative problems are solved and provide students with opportunities to put their knowledge into action right when new concepts are introduced. Dozens of "Questions" are interspersed throughout the chapters, getting students critically thinking about high-interest topics. Finally, hundreds of multiple-choice and short-answer questions at the end of the chapters test students' knowledge, develop their conceptual understanding, and encourage them to apply what they have learned.*Simple, Clear Illustrations. Biochemical concepts often require a high degree of visualization, and the McKee & McKee art program brings complex processes to life. Over 700 full-color figures, many newly enhanced for a more vivid presentation in three dimensions and consistent scale and color for chemical structures. *Currency. The fifth edition has been extensively updated with recent developments in the field, while remaining focused on the "big-picture" pr
