Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring From the simplest bacteria to humans, all living things are composed of cells of one type or another, all of which have fundamentally the same chemistry. This chemistry must provide mechanisms that allow cells to interact with the external world, a means to power the cell, machinery to carry out varied processes within the cell, a structure within which everything runs, and also governance through a web of interlocking chemical reactions. Biochemistry is the study of those reactions, the molecules that are created, manipulated, and destroyed as a result of them, and the massive macromolecules (such as DNA, cytoskeletons, proteins and carbohydrates) that form the chemical machinery and structures on which these biochemical reactions take place. It didn't take long for an understanding of the chemistry of life to turn into a desire to manipulate it. Drugs and therapies all aim to modify biochemical processes for good or ill: Penicillin, derived from mould, stops bacteria making their cell walls. Aspirin, with its origins in willow bark, inhibits enzymes involved in inflammatory responses. A few nanograms of botulinum toxin (botox), can kill by preventing the release of neurotransmitters from the ends of nerves and so leads to paralysis and death, or give a wrinkle free forehead (if administered in very tiny quantities).This Very Short Introduction discusses the key concepts of biochemistry, as well as the historical figures in the field and the molecules they studied, before considering the current science and innovations in the field, and the interaction between biochemistry, biotechnology, and synthetic biology. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Agricultural Biochemistry will provide an introduction to the subject of biochemistry from a perspective that will be particularly applicable to agricultural scientists. It will focus on the chemistry of plant and animal metabolism and the biomolecules that are involved in these pathways and then go on to discuss strategies plants and animals adopt for processing of nutrients, the adaptation of these organisms to environmental conditions and the ways in which new genetic engineering techniques can be used to manipulate growth.

Biochemistry: An Integrative Approach with Expanded Topics is addressed to premed, biochemistry, and life science majors taking a two-semester biochemistry course. This version includes all 25 chapters, offering a holistic approach to learning biochemistry. An integrated, skill-focused approach to the study of biochemistry and metabolism Biochemistry integrates subjects of interest to undergraduates majoring in premed, biochemistry, life science, and beyond, while preserving a chemical perspective. Respected biochemistry educator John Tansey takes a unique approach to the subject matter, emphasizing problem solving and critical thinking over rote memorization. Key concepts such as metabolism, are introduced and then revisited and cross-referenced throughout the text to establish pattern recognition and help students commit their new knowledge to long-term memory. As part of WileyPLUS, Biochemistry includes access to video walkthroughs of worked problems, interactive elements, and expanded end-of-chapter problems with a wide range of subject matter and difficulty. Students will have access to both qualitative and quantitative worked problems, and videos model the biochemical reasoning students will need to master. This approach helps students learn to analyze data and make critical assessments of experiments—key skills for success across scientific disciplines. Introduces students in scientific majors to the basics of biochemistry and metabolism Integrates and synthesizes topics throughout the text, allowing students to learn through repetition and pattern recognition Emphasizes problem solving and reasoning skills essential to life sciences, including data analysis and research assessment Provides access to video walkthroughs of worked problems, interactive features, and additional study material through WileyPLUS This volume covers DNA, RNA, gene regulation, synthetic proteins, omics, plant biochemistry, and more. With this text, students studying a range of disciplines are empowered to develop a lasting foundation in biochemistry and metabolism that will serve them as they advance through their careers.
