Biochemistry: A Short Course

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Derived from the classic text originated by Lubert Stryer and continued by John Tymoczko and Jeremy Berg, Biochemistry: A Short Course focuses on the major topics taught in a one-semester biochemistry course. With its brief chapters and relevant examples, this thoroughly updated new edition helps students see the connections between the biochemistry they are studying and their own lives. Biochemistry: A Short Course is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan's new online learning platform. Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for chemistry students. Achieve includes an interactive eBook as well as our renowned assessments and innovative, interactive Metabolic Map. Students will be able to focus their study with adaptive quizzing and more clearly see the relevance of chemistry through case studies. Instructor resources, including tools for active learning, are all housed in this exciting new platform.
