The Facts On File Dictionary of Biochemistry

The Facts On File Dictionary of Biochemistry contains more than 2,000 entries that explain, clearly and concisely, the most relevant and frequently used terms in the field of biochemistry. The dictionary is an ideal tool, articulating the basics of modern biochemistry, including basic organic and physical chemistry, cell metabolism and signaling, nutrition, and recent advances in the field. The volume is particularly useful for high school students taking courses in AP biology (especially molecules and cells) and AP chemistry as well as for college students and researchers who require a handy reference. More than 60 line drawings and a set of appendices (including a bibliography) help to simplify many complex concepts, and cross-references guarantee that the reader will waste no time in finding the right definition.
