Description Medicine is a broad scientific field that includes many specialties and subspecialties, and is directly – and often inseparably – connected to numerous other scientific fields. Given this observation, it is easy to understand that sciences such as biology, chemistry, and physics walk hand in hand with medicine in the quest for solutions regarding health problems, as well as in the continuous research.

In this spirit, and with the aim of passing on knowledge to younger scientists, the well-known and popular series of medical manuals "At a Glance" comes to assist in the education of students. At the same time, these books serve as excellent reference texts for doctors of all specialties. This particular book, faithful to the principles of this successful series, presents medical biochemistry in a concise and accurate manner.

Each chapter is developed over a two-page spread, where colorful illustrations, tables, and diagrams enhance understanding, while the texts with clear and concise wording address the 72 topics in the corresponding chapters. To better organize the content, the chapters are divided into ten Parts: Acids, Bases, and pH, Structure of Amino Acids and Proteins, Formation of ATP: Oxidation-Reduction Reactions, Carbohydrates, Enzymes and Regulation of Pathways, Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, Metabolism of Amino Acids and Porphyrins, Vitamins, Molecular Biology, and Clinical Diagnostic Chemistry.

"Medical Biochemistry at a Glance" is an essential book for the library of both the student and the resident physician as well as the clinical physician, and it complements the other books in the series in the best possible way.
