Product Information

Chemical Logic’ discusses the common biochemical reaction types that underlie all metabolic reactions, helping students to connect organic chemistry with biochemistry, and ‘Chemical Logic Figures’ highlight the conversation of mechanisms and illustrate patterns that make learning pathways easier. (Provided for each of the central metabolic pathways.) New medical box, introduces hemoglobin glycation and AGEs and their role in the pathology of advanced diabetes Expanded coverage and updating of the biochemical connections between obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes The ‘Interactive Metabolic Map’ allows students to navigate and zoom between overviews and detailed views of the most commonly taught metabolic pathways. Embedded Tours take students through the pathways step-by-step, helping them to both visualize concepts in isolation and understand how concepts are connected. By examining the pathways in this way, students are better equipped to understand the meaning of those connections.

LearningCurve Adaptive Quizzing motivates reading and keeps students on pace with study with a fun game-like activity to quiz retention and understanding of concepts. Chemical Logic discusses the common biochemical reaction types that underlie all metabolic reactions, helping students to connect organic chemistry with biochemistry. This text has an emphasis on problem solving with in text ‘Worked Examples’ that take students through particular difficult equations to improve their quantitative problem-solving skills, and data ‘Analysis Problems’ that encourage students to synthesize what they have learned and apply their knowledge to the interpretation of data from the literature. More than 600 end-of-chapter problems (all available in Achieve) are also included to give students further opportunity to practice what they have learned.Expanded section on bilayer dynamics covers flippases, floppases, scramblases, and bilayer asymmetry An interactive e-book with embedded multimedia and features for highlighting, note-taking and accessibility support Chemical Logic Figures highlight the conversation of mechanisms and illustrate patterns that make learning pathways easier. (Provided for each of the central metabolic pathways) Section management courses allow you to make copies of your course when teaching multiple sections or to serve as a coordinator for other instructors sections. Available for the first time in Achieve, the definitive reference text for biochemistry Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 8e helps students focus on the most important aspects of biochemistry-- the principles! Dave Nelson, Michael Cox, and new co-author Aaron Hoskins identify the most important principles of biochemistry and direct student attention to these with icons and resources targeted to each principle.

Clear Art includes molecular structures created specifically for Lehninger to keep consistency with color and shape schemes.

In-text Worked Examples take students through particular difficult equations to improve their quantitative problem-solving skills. Case Studies’ introduce students to a biochemical mystery and allows them to determine what investigations will solve it. Accompanying assessments ensure that students have fully completed and understood the case study, showing that they have applied their knowledge of the concepts. Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 8e continues to help students navigate the complex discipline of biochemistry with a clear and coherent presentation. Renowned authors David Nelson, Michael Cox, and new co-author Aaron Hoskins have focused this eighth edition around the fundamental principles to help students understand and navigate the most important aspects of biochemistry. Text features and digital resources in the new Achieve platform emphasize this focus on the principles, while coverage of recent discoveries and the most up-to-date research provide fascinating context for learning the dynamic discipline of biochemistry.
