Dr. Paul Sanghera, the best selling author of several books in science and technology, presents more than 300 biochemistry flashcards in this book. The goal is to help you master the core biochemistry (and molecular biology) concepts, principles, and processes, which are prerequisites for pursuing studies and a career in biotechnology, health science, or any other related field. All the important concepts, terms, principles, and processes are covered in a concise but comprehensive fashion. This book will be useful for students in biochemistry, genetics, and biotechnology courses. Special features: *The depth and style of coverage makes these flashcards indexes into your memory so that if you go through these flash cards after reading a biochemistry text book, it's equivalent to going through the text book once again, only in much less time. *The flashcards are student-friendly and self-contained and no reference to any other book is made. This means these cards work with any book and independent of any book. * These flash cards come in a book, not in a box of loose cards; so these are much easier to manage than those loose cards. No more loose cards, no more lost cards. *This book is designed as a convenient and portable reference for on-the-go studying. You can take it anywhere and use it when a time window becomes available. * It includes a special chapter that illustrates the biochemistry processes. Here is how you can use this book: * As a useful companion to your textbook if you are taking a biochemistry course. * As an independent reference to quickly review (or overview) basic biochemistry concepts, terms, and processes. * Although not designed for any specific exam, the concepts, principles, and processes covered in this book are pre-requisites to preparing for any biochemistry related exams such as USMLE and various shelf exams. Topics covered include: organic chemistry, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, metabolic pathways, and biochemistry processes.
