Material Detail

Welcome to Biochemistry Free and Easy. As biochemistry instructors, we are always delighted when anyone shows an interest in our favorite subject. Helping students understand and enjoy biochemistry is our motivation for writing this book. It is not our intention to provide a comprehensive account of the chemical basis of life. Instead, we have tried to help students understand this fascinating subject by focusing on some key topics and concepts. This pared-down approach can be helpful for novices who might otherwise lose sight of important organizing principles in a sea of detail. The electronic format has also allowed us to provide multimedia links, in the form of video lectures and biochemistry songs to help students learn the subject. Best of all, this format makes it practical for us to distribute the book at no cost to anyone who wishes to learn basic biochemistry.

Biochemistry is a relatively young science, but the rate of its expansion has been truly impressive. This rapid pace of discoveries, which shows no signs of slowing, is reflected in the steady increase in the size of biochemistry text books, most of which top a thousand pages and undergo revisions every couple of years to incorporate new Introduction Cells: The Bio of Biochemistry Water, Water Everywhere Buffers Keep the Cellular Environment Stable Henderson-Hasselbalch Cells, Water, and Buffers 11 On these pages our aim’s to extract Knowledge out of a mountain of facts Missing excessive data Will not really matta If our students can learn and relax findings. These full-scale texts offer an enormous amount of information and serve as invaluable resources. Those who need the greater level of detail and broader coverage that these books provide have many choices available in any good bookstore.
