New medical section on the role of polyunsaturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids in cardiovascular disease A detailed gradebook with insights for just-in-time teaching and reporting on student and full class achievement by learning objective. The new edition brings this remarkable text into a new era. Like its predecessors, Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Sixth Edition strikes a careful balance of current science and enduring concepts, incorporating a tremendous amount of new findings, but only those that help illustrate biochemistry’s foundational principles. With this edition, students will encounter new information emerging from high throughput DNA sequencing, x-ray crystallography, and the manipulation of genes and gene expression, and other techniques. In addition, students will see how contemporary biochemistry has shifted away from exploring metabolic pathways in isolation to focusing on interactions among pathways. They will also get an updated understanding of the relevance of biochemistry to the study of human disease (especially diabetes) as well as the important role of evolutionary theory in biochemical research. Expanded and updated section on lipid rafts and caveolae includes new material on membrane curvature and the proteins that influence it, and introduces amphitropic proteins and annular lipidsData Analysis Problems (one at the end of each chapter), contributed by Brian White of the University of Massachusetts–Boston, encourage students to synthesize what they have learned and apply their knowledge to the interpretation of data from the literature. Tools for understanding are provided including ‘Key Conventions’ and ‘Special Themes’ (Metabolic Integration, Obesity, and Diabetes, Evolution) as well as ‘Medical Insights and Applications-Icons’ used throughout the book denote material of special medical interest and updated to reflect the most current content. Interactive Molecular Figures allow students to view and interact with textbook illustrations of protein structures online in interactive 3-D models for a better understanding of their three-dimensional structures. Available for the first time in Achieve, the definitive reference text for biochemistry Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 8e helps students focus on the most important aspects of biochemistry-- the principles! Dave Nelson, Michael Cox, and new co-author Aaron Hoskins identify the most important principles of biochemistry and direct student attention to these with icons and resources targeted to each principle. Chemical Logic Figures highlight the conversation of mechanisms and illustrate patterns that make learning pathways easier. (Provided for each of the central metabolic pathways)

New medical box on how the high rate of glycolysis in cancerous tissue aids cancer diagnosis and treatment Clear Art includes molecular structures created specifically for Lehninger to keep consistency with color and shape schemes. Introduction to the new field of glycomics, including methods for determining oligosaccharide structure using MALDI-MS

Instructor Activity Guides, developed with instructors and tied to the principles framework, include both instructor material and assessable student material Lehninger’s Principles of Biochemistry is now supported in Achieve. Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, including assets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study and assessment. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding biochemistry content provides an unrivaled learning experience. The Lehninger 8e digital program builds on the focus on principles, with resources ideal for in-person lecture-based to fully online courses.

The 8th edition has been fully revised for up-to-date content, as well as to effectively support student study. Written for students learning biochemistry for the first time, the authors have identified and noted fundamental biochemistry principles throughout the text. Content has been streamlined so the text is focused on what is most important and useful to modern students and for future reference! Expanded discussion of blood pH buffering by the bicarbonate system,including a new box describing Haldane's use of himself as a guinea pig in experiments aimed at changing the acidity of blood New medical box, introduces hemoglobin glycation and AGEs and their role in the pathology of advanced diabetes Case Studies introduce students to a biochemical mystery and allows them to determine what investigations will solve it. Accompanying assessments ensure that students have fully completed and understood the case study, showing that they have applied their knowledge of the concepts. Section management courses allow you to make copies of your course when teaching multiple sections or to serve as a coordinator for other instructors sections.Medicine: Why Sailors, Explorers, and College Students Should Eat Their Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Medicine: High Rate of Glycolysis in Tumors Suggests Targets for Chemotherapy and Facilitates Diagnosis

New section on emerging role of ribulose 5-phosphate as central regulator of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis Mechanism Figures features step-by-step descriptions to help students understand the reaction process. Lehninger’s Principles of Biochemistry is now available in the Achieve platform. Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, including assets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study and assessment. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding biochemistry content provides an unrivaled learning experience. This edition provides a new learning path for students, through emphasis on the fundamental principles of biochemistry.Animated Mechanisms’ have been designed to enhance lecture or student study and help with visualization.
