Biochemistry: Concepts and Connections engages you with a unique approach to visualization, synthesis of complex topics and connections to the real world. The authors build quantitative reasoning skills and provide you with a rich, chemical perspective on biological processes. The text emphasizes fundamental concepts and connections, showing how biochemistry relates to practical applications in medicine, agricultural sciences, environmental sciences, and forensics.

The 2nd Edition provides new Threshold Concept Tutorials to help you master challenging and critical ideas in biochemistry. Revised Concept and Connection statements call your attention to fundamental concepts as well as real-world applications.
