Since the first edition of BIOCHEMISTRY by Lubert Stryer in 1975 (now Berg, Tymoczko, and Stryer), this groundbreaking textbook has significantly shaped the way biochemistry is taught, and has become one of the most trusted books in the field.

It offers exceptionally clear writing, innovative graphics, coverage of the latest important techniques and discoveries, and as a hallmark, emphasizes the connection to biology and medicine.

The seventh edition has been thoroughly updated, and includes many new advances in the understanding of gene regulation, as well as refreshed coverage of the integration of metabolism in the context of diet and obesity.

Many new medical examples have been added to make biochemistry a vibrant reality for students and professors of related courses.

The new edition collaborator, Dr. Gregory Gatto, an active researcher at the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, ensures that the seventh edition presents the cutting-edge technologies in modern biochemical research that students need to understand.

The exercises at the end of each chapter have been revised and updated, providing students with many excellent new exercises to test how well they understand the material.
