Summary: McMurry focuses almost exclusively on chemical reactions with direct counterparts in biological chemistry, in this text for students in the life sciences. Coverage encompasses traditional foundations of organic chemistry, common laboratory reactions and their biological counterparts, and the main classes of biomolecules and their major metabolic pathways. Worked examples, visualizing chemistry problems, and color diagrams are included. Chapter introductions explain why the material is important.
