Ultimately Understanding Biochemistry

A rough understanding of biochemistry is essential in numerous healthcare and life science degree courses; future biotech engineers as well as dentists have to demonstrate some biochemical understanding, at some point. This book is a fantastic primer for the biochemist-to-be, or not-to-be. An incredible resource for revision of that one tricky biochemical module in many related programmes. 
This book enables easy-to-access, approachable understanding of biochemistry, providing unforgettable styles of learning, maybe even fun! Chemical structures and biochemical facts are always presented, paired with everyday analogies. As an example, we present ATP – that incredibly versatile energy “currency” of the cells – as the Swiss Army knife of metabolism.   Content is presented concise, and easy-to-understand – somewhat more complex mathematical relationships are presented as rough calculations on a napkin. You might learn from one of these napkins that the temporary storage of a glucose sugar molecule, by attaching it to a lump of glycogen, a “sugar battery”, works at a stunningly high efficiency of 94%.   About the AuthorJonathan Wolf Mueller teaches biochemistry, endocrinology, and pharmacology at the University of Birmingham, in the United Kingdom. A protein biochemist, he studies the regulation of steroid hormones by sulfation. Jon is passionate about teaching innovation centered on students’ needs. He enjoys engaging in all sorts of scientific outreach.   Reader ReactionsA refreshing and adorable textbook: enjoyable to read, quickly to understand, and the many comparisons make it easier to remember, creating lasting learning pleasure!

This is total joy for me, as I could resonate so well with your style. At times, your writing reminds me of Terry Pratchett. […] A biochemistry book that is fun to read, finally.
