Biochemistry : a functional approach / Robert W. McGilvery and Gerald Goldstein - Second Edition - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania : W.B. Saunders Company, c1979 - viii, 827 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Amino acids and peptides -- Chapter 3. The conformation of peptides chains in proteins -- Chapter 4. DNA and genetic information -- Chapter 5. Ribonucleic acids: formation and function -- Chapter 6. Replication of DNA and the cell life cycle -- Chapter 7. Alterations of DNA -- Chapter 8. Refinement of proteins -- Chapter 9. Fibrous structural proteins -- Chapter 10. Carbohydrates as structural elements -- Chapter 11. Lipids and membranes -- Chapter 12. Antibodies: defensive proteins -- Chapter 13. Binding for transport: hemoglobin and oxygen -- Chapter 14. The enzymes -- Chapter 15. Rates of enzymatic reactions -- Chapter 16. Regulation of enzymes -- Chapter 17. Hydrolases: digestion -- Chapter 18. Hydrolases: Blood clotting and complement -- Chapter 19. Biochemical energetics -- Chapter 20. Muscular Contraction.
This book is intended for those who wish to understand living organism, specially man. Biochemistry is essential for this purpose, but it would be almost possible for a student to survey on his own the massive body of existing knowledge, constantly augmented by a remarkable torrent of brilliant discoveries.
