The book provides a deeper understanding of the governing principles of biochemical reactions, as well as how key chemical and biochemical reactions are thought to occur at the atomic/molecular level. With an emphasis on common themes that govern biochemical reactivity, this book fills the gap between organic/bioorganic chemistry and biochemistry texts.
- Fills the gap between organic/bioorganic chemistry and biochemistry texts
- Illustrates how key functional groups in biochemistry dictate behaviors in proteins, nucleic acids, or polysaccharides
- Focuses on functional groups and their chemical/biochemical properties that determine the biological functions of macromolecules
