Biochemistry is a modern classic that had been thoroughly revised. Explains biochemical concepts while offering a unified presentation of life and its variation through evolution. Incorporates both classical and current research to illustrate the historical source of much of our biochemical knowledge. This new edition will be available in two volumes as well as one complete text. Volume 1 will cover Chapters 1-29. Volume 2 will repeat chapter 29 and will also include Chapters 30-35
