Totally revised and expanded, Color Atlas of Biochemistry presents the fundamentals of human and mammalian biochemistry on 215 stunning color plates. Alongside a short introduction to chemistry and the classical topics of biochemistry, the second edition covers new approaches and aspects in biochemistry, such as links between chemical structure and biological function or pathways for information transfer, as well as recent developments and discoveries, such as the structures of many new important molecules. Key features include: The unique combination of highly effective color graphics and comprehensive figure legends Unified color-coding of atoms, coenzymes, chemical classes, and cell organelles that allows quick recognition of all involved systems Computer graphics provide simulated 3D representation of many important molecules This Flexibook is ideal for students of medicine and biochemistry and a valuable source of reference for practitioners.

From reviews of previous editions: A remarkable achievement—concise but informative. No geneticist or physician interested in genetic diseases should be without a copy — American Journal of Medical Genetics. Following the Human Genome Project's success in sequencing the entire human genome, the field has advanced rapidly. The fourth edition provides a comprehensive overview, emphasizing the connection between fundamental principles and practical medical applications. Utilizing the signature Flexibook format for easy visual learning, it is essential for students, clinicians, and scientists to stay updated in this dynamic area. New topics in this fully revised edition include genetic signaling pathways, DNA repair systems, genomic disorders, cancer genomes, ciliopathies, neurocristopathies, and epigenetic changes. Additionally, it features an illustrated outline of human evolution. With nearly 200 vibrant color plates and concise explanations, alongside useful tables, a glossary of terms, key references, and online resources, the book clarifies complex concepts. It serves as an excellent introduction to genetics and basic genomics for medical and biology students and is a valuable teaching aid and refresher for researchers across various fields.
