59609) Comprehensible biochemistry , Michael Yudkin and Robin Offord , Longman London 1983 ,
Comprehensible Biochemistry is a textbook designed for undergraduate students of the subject not only those reading honours biochemistry But also those for whom blochemistry is an important subsidiary study: students of the medical, biological, agricultural, or veterinary sciences; `students of pharmacology, applied biology, cell and molecular biology and students of biochemical engineering.

Biochemistry today comprises a vast quantity of information. This poses formidable problems to the student attempting to gain an understanding of the subject. He must try to impose order upon the mass of facts presented to him, assess the relative importance of these facts, and place them in their biological context. These are not easy tasks.

The authors have kept these problems in mind and have therefore aimed at comprehensibility rather than comprehensiveness. They have achieved this by stressing the essential unity of several different aspects of biochemistry, and by placing special emphasis on the biological significance of the phenomena they discuss.

The book is divided into four parts: Macromolecules; Intermediary Metabolism; Molecular Genetics and Informational Macromolecules; and Regulation. In addition there are appendices on Enzyme Kinetics and on Separation Methods.

This account will provide the student with a sound understanding of the foundations of biochemistry. He will find the clear style and thoughtful but attractive presentation a refreshing change from more pedestrian treatments.

Michael Yudkin is Lecturer in Biochemistry, University of Oxford. and Tutorial Fellow of University College, Oxford. Robin Offord is Lecturer in Molecular Biophysics, University of Oxford and Tutor of Christ Church, Oxford. They are the authors of the 3rd edition of A Guidebook to Biochemistry, C.U.P., 1971.
