Biochemistry 10th 2023

Product Full Description

Digital innovation, trusted authorship and the latest research gives biochemistry students all they need to succeed.

Biochemistry 10e with Achieve builds on over four decades of exceptional writing, clear graphics, coverage of the latest research technique, and its signature emphasis on physiological and medical relevance with new emphasis on the importance of diversity and team work and a focus on problem-solving techniques and skills.

With a new and updated suite of online resources, including hundreds of end-of-chapter problems with answer-specific feedback, activities for in-class and out-of-class, and an emphasis on visualization, Biochemistry with Achieve sets a new standard for biochemistry programs!

• Focus on visualization throughout the text and the accompanying resources. From the graphics and art work program to the media-rich resources, the product has been developed to support students’ ability to visualize and understand individual and complex biochemistry concepts. 
• ‘Scientist Profiles’ illustrate the wide range of backgrounds, training, and careers that lead to many important contributions in biochemistry so students can see themselves in the diversity of scientists.
• Problem-solving techniques and practice are placed throughout the text to support student engagement and effective learning. From self-check questions to worked examples, there are many opportunities to practice.

Achieve is Macmillan Learning’s complete online learning system. It houses instructor resources to support teaching and a range of interactive resources and the full ebook to help students succeed in their course. Access to Achieve for instructors is available on this page. Student access to Achieve could be through their institution if the institution has signed a license or as a separate student purchase. The instructor must set up a course for students to benefit from this product.

• Chapter content is organized around the themes of evolutionary perspective, clinical applications and physiological relevance, biotechnological and industrial applications and the importance of time and time scales. This ensures relevance and focus for today’s biochemistry students.
• New content keeps students learning from the latest material with coverage of
  molecular recognition, drug discoveries, metabolism and cancer and anticoagulant medicines.
• Problem-solving techniques and practice throughout the text and online ensures that students have ample opportunities to hone their knowledge through practice. All end of chapter problems are online so that they are able to be assigned, they include answer specific feedback, hints and fully worked solutions.

Jeremy M. Berg

JEREMY M. BERG received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemistry from Stanford (where he did research with Keith Hodgson and Lubert Stryer) and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Harvard with Richard Holm. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Carl Pabo in Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Johns Hopkins from 1986 to 1990. He then moved to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as Professor and Director of the Department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry, where he remained until 2003. He then became Director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences at the National Institutes of Health. In 2011, he moved to the University of Pittsburgh where he is now Professor of Computational and Systems Biology and Pittsburgh Foundation Chair and Director of the Institute for Personalized Medicine. He served as President of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from 2011-2013. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. He received the American Chemical Society Award in Pure Chemistry (1994) and the Eli Lilly Award for Fundamental Research in Biological Chemistry (1995), was named Maryland Outstanding Young Scientist of the Year (1995), received the Harrison Howe Award (1997), and received public service awards from the Biophysical Society, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the American Chemical Society, and the American Society for Cell Biology. He also received numerous teaching awards, including the W. Barry Wood Teaching Award (selected by medical students), the Graduate Student Teaching Award, and the Professor’s Teaching Award for the Preclinical Sciences. He is coauthor, with Stephen J. Lippard, of the textbook Principles of Bioinorganic Chemistry.
