Biochemistry the Chemical Reactions of Living Cells 2nd Ed. Vols 1 & 2 is about the chemistry of living cells with special emphasis on the trillions of cells that make up your own body. Every aspect of life depends upon the chemical makeup of cells and on the chemical properties of the remarkable molecules found within the cells. The information presented here will give the reader a solid foundation for understanding not only the chemical basis of life but also the revolutionary developments in molecular biology, biochemical genetics, medicine, and agriculture which dominate today’s scientific news and which will play an increasingly important role in our lives. The first theme of the book is biomolecular structure. A second theme is metabolism, the unceasing,complex network of thousands of chemical reactions by which cells grow and reproduce, take up foods and excrete wastes, move, and communicate with each other. Biochemistry deals with virtually every aspect of life.
