Medical Biochemistry combines basic science and practical medicine in a concise format that is ideal for the future doctor. In the second edition, clinical medicine is even more integrated in the text as well as in the case study boxes, and a new 'clinical tests' feature will be a quick reference to the most common laboratory tests.
The new edition retains the dynamic full colour design of the first edition incorporating case histories, advanced concept boxes and clear colour pictures which explain the more complex biochemical concepts. There are three new chapters on Ageing, Nutrition and Oxygen and Life, bringing the book up to date in these important areas of development. All chapters have been thoroughly revised and contain the latest information on genetics and molecular biology. Summary boxes and an expanded self-assessment section make the book even more useful for revision.

Review:

***2010 BMA Book Awards - Highly Commended - Basic and Clinical Sciences category***

"This is a very thorough book which is great for use for reference and also for quick revision from the summaries at the end of every chapter. The figures are of high quality: figure 1.1 Biochemistry, all in one, is a good overview of the metabolic pathways. Additionally, the clinical boxes highlight clinically relevant information. Overall, this is an excellent resource for undergraduates.” - Judge's comments

".It includes all the essential biochemistry needed and indicates further reading at the end of each chapter. Importantly, it frequently uses clinical examples and there is an excellent use of clear and colourful diagrams. There are also a variety of revision questions at the back which are useful for exam practice.” - UK Medical Student

"Graphics are amazing and sooooOOOOO helpful! I have never liked chemistry but thanks to this book I managed to get an A on my Biochemistry 2 exam.” - Medical Student, University of Zagreb

".[lots of] colourful diagrams that are easy to follow and well explained (unusual for a textbook on biochemistry!). The textbook works through the systems of the body in a very logical and clear way without being too complex or misleading.the authors have clearly spent a lot of time assessing what is relevant for the course and in what detail.” - Medical Student, University of Glasgow
