This step-by-step outline steers you logically, expertly, and clearly through biochemistry. It saves you study time and helps you get better grades by focusing on the core information you really need to know! This easy-to-follow study guide can help you ace biochemistry! Clear and well-organized, it gives you all the information you need­­and avoids confusing, extraneous material that you don't need!

• A question-and-answer format highlights the meaning of the material and helps you remember
• Easy-to-read line drawings and diagrams fix important structures and processes in your mind
• Hundreds of sample problems with full solutions give you examples of precisely the kind of questions you will find on your exams
• Hundreds more practice problems (with answers supplied) let you test your skills

Whether you use this study guide to better your biochemistry grades, study it alone as a complete biochemistry course, or use it for review before a standardized test, this Schaum's guide can cut your study hours as it moves you quickly from cell structure through protein synthesis. This second edition features added material on whole-body metabolism, enzyme kinetics, and new technologies for monitoring metabolic processes. You've found the study guide that makes biochemistry comprehensible­­the one that's been chosen by thousands of grateful students!
