Problem Solving Video with diagrams, graphs and narration these videos walk students through problems on difficult topics helping them understand the right approach to the solution.

Mechanism Figures features step-by-step descriptions to help students understand the reaction process. New information on HMG-CoA reductase and new medical box on statins 22 Biosynthesis of Amino Acids, Nucleotides, and Related Molecules As always, our goal in this seventh edition of Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry is to strike a balance: to include new and exciting research findings without overwhelming the book for students.

New medical section on the role of polyunsaturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids in cardiovascular disease New Medical section on G protein coupled receptors (GCPRs) discusses the range of diseases for which drugs target GPCRs Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 8e continues to help students navigate the complex discipline of biochemistry with a clear and coherent presentation. Renowned authors David Nelson, Michael Cox, and new co-author Aaron Hoskins have focused this eighth edition around the fundamental principles to help students understand and navigate the most important aspects of biochemistry. Text features and digital resources in the new Achieve platform emphasize this focus on the principles, while coverage of recent discoveries and the most up-to-date research provide fascinating context for learning the dynamic discipline of biochemistry. New section on the role of transcription factors (PPARs) in regulation of lipid catabolism 18 Amino Acid Oxidation and the Production of Urea The ‘Interactive Metabolic Map’ allows students to navigate and zoom between overviews and detailed views of the most commonly taught metabolic pathways. Embedded Tours take students through the pathways step-by-step, helping them to both visualize concepts in isolation and understand how concepts are connected. By examining the pathways in this way, students are better equipped to understand the meaning of those connections.

A flexible suite of resources to support learning core concepts, visualization, problem-solving, and assessment. Protein Targeting and Degradation Box 27–1 Exceptions That Prove the Rule: Natural Variations in the Genetic Code Box 27–2 From an RNA World to a Protein World Box 27–3 Natural and Unnatural Expansion of the Genetic Code Box 27–4 Induced Variation in the Genetic Code: Nonsense Suppression The new edition brings this remarkable text into a new era. Like its predecessors, Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Sixth Edition strikes a careful balance of current science and enduring concepts, incorporating a tremendous amount of new findings, but only those that help illustrate biochemistry’s foundational principles. With this edition, students will encounter new information emerging from high throughput DNA sequencing, x-ray crystallography, and the manipulation of genes and gene expression, and other techniques. In addition, students will see how contemporary biochemistry has shifted away from exploring metabolic pathways in isolation to focusing on interactions among pathways. They will also get an updated understanding of the relevance of biochemistry to the study of human disease (especially diabetes) as well as the important role of evolutionary theory in biochemical research. The Lehninger 8e digital program builds on the focus on principles, with resources ideal for in-person lecture-based to fully online courses. Oncogenes, Tumor Suppressor Genes, and Programmed Cell Death Box 12–1 Methods: Scatchard Analysis Quantifies the Receptor-Ligand Interaction Box 12–2 Medicine: G Proteins: Binary Switches in Health and Disease Box 12–3 Methods: FRET: Biochemistry Visualized in a Living Cell Box 12–4 Medicine: Color Blindness: John Dalton’s Experiment from the Grave Box 12–5 Medicine: Development of Protein Kinase Inhibitors for Cancer TreatmentNew medical box on how the high rate of glycolysis in cancerous tissue aids cancer diagnosis and treatment 15 Principles of Metabolic Regulation Available for the first time in Achieve, the definitive reference text for biochemistry Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 8e helps students focus on the most important aspects of biochemistry-- the principles! Dave Nelson, Michael Cox, and new co-author Aaron Hoskins identify the most important principles of biochemistry and direct student attention to these with icons and resources targeted to each principle. Protein Interactions Modulated by Chemical Energy: Actin, Myosin, and Molecular Motors Box 5–1 Medicine: Carbon Monoxide: A Stealthy Killer Cambridge International AS and A Level Chemistry Coursebook (3rd Edition) By Lawrie Ryan & Roger Norris

The uploader already confirmed that they had the permission to publish Expanded and integrated treatment of local signaling circuits, including AKAPs and signaling complexes that include protein kinase A, adenylyl cyclase, and phosphodiesterase, and localized puffs and waves of Ca2+

The summary of principals and the highlighting of these principals throughout the text. This is really helpful! The Boxes with additional information, particularly clinical relevance of the material. Most of my students are pre-med and it helps them engage in the material better if there is clinical relevance. The problems at the end of the chapter. These are really beneficial for the students who want to make sure they understand the material." --Robin Haynes, Harvard University Biosynthesis of Cholesterol, Steroids, and Isoprenoids Box 21–1 Mixed-Function Oxidases, Oxygenases, and Cytochrome P-450 Lehninger’s Principles of Biochemistry is now available in the Achieve platform. Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, including assets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study and assessment. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding biochemistry content provides an unrivaled learning experience.
