Biochemistry is a core subject at undergraduate level for all medical and dental students. They are required to pass their biochemistry exam at the end of the first year's study before advancing in their career. There are a number of large, classic biochemistry textbooks available in the market, but a medical student nowadays wants a shorter, simply written and well illustrated book to get him through the exam. This is that book. Equally divided into two sections - general biochemistry and metabolism and biochemical genetics - containing 46 chapters, this user-friendly textbook will become a valuable addition to the medical undergraduate's personal library.
