Additional Media Features in Achieve:

• Interactive Metabolic Map allows students to navigate and zoom between overviews and detailed views of the most commonly taught metabolic pathways. Embedded Tours take students through the pathways step-by-step, helping them to both visualize concepts in isolation and understand how concepts are connected.  By examining the pathways in this way, students are better equipped to understand the meaning of those connections.  Assessment questions help students solidify their understanding and provide more structure to their learning.  *Metabolic Pathways include: glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, the pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid synthesis, the urea cycle, and β oxidation.
• LearningCurve Adaptive Quizzing motivates reading and keeps students on pace with study with a fun game-like activity to quiz retention and understanding of concepts.
• 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.
  Topics include:
• A Likely Story: Enzyme Inhibition
• An Unexplained Death: Carbohydrate Metabolism
• A Day at the Beach: Lipid Metabolism
• Runner's Experiment: Integration of Metabolism
• NEW! pH Peril: pH and Amino Acid Structure
• Profound Relevance: Hemoglobin Regulation (Bohr Effect)
• Observation Over Intuition: Thermodynamics of Protein Folding
• Animated Mechanisms designed to enhance lecture or student study and help with visualization
• Animated Techniques are short animations of laboraatory techniques. Designed to provide students with an overview of protocol, these animations give students a conceptual understanding of what is happening at the chemical level.
• Problem Solving Video with diagrams, graphs and narration these videos walk students through problems on difficult topics helping them understand the right approach to the solution.

HallmarkText Features
Chemical Logic:

• Chemical Logic discusses the common biochemical reaction types that underlie all metabolic reactions, helping students to connect organic chemistry with biochemistry.
• Chemical Logic Figures highlight the conversation of mechanisms and illustrate patterns that make learning pathways easier. (Provided for each of the central metabolic pathways)

Focus on Visualization:

• Clear Art includes molecular structures created specifically for Lehninger to keep consistency with color and shape schemes.
• Understandable Figures include numbers with annotated steps to explain complex processes.

Content has been streamlined so the text is focused on what is most important and useful to modern students and for future reference!

Organized around principles for better understanding

• This edition provides a new learning path for students, through emphasis on the fundamental principles of biochemistry.

Streamlined for easier navigation

• A new, vibrant design improves navigation through the content.
• Based on extensive user feedback, the authors have carefully trimmed topics and subtopics to emphasize crucial content, resulting in shorter chapters and an overall reduction in book length.
• New or revised figures reflect current research findings.
• Captions have been streamlined throughout.
• Where possible, figures have been simplified, and many figures now have step-by-step annotations, reducing caption length.
• A revised photo program emphasizes context-rich images.
• The end-of-chapter problem sets have been thoroughly revised.

"The summary of principals and the highlighting of these principals throughout the text.  This is really helpful!  The Boxes with additional information, particularly clinical relevance of the material.  Most of my students are pre-med and it helps them engage in the material better if there is clinical relevance.  The problems at the end of the chapter.   These are really beneficial for the students who want to make sure they understand the material." --Robin Haynes, Harvard University

"...written in an engaging manner that does not provide too much detail in any one sentence  ...  The chapter is organized in a logical manner that builds upon simpler concepts in order to put together an overall understanding of protein structure at all levels.  The figures are simple but engaging and illustrate key points in a manner that is accessible to the reader." --Paul Larsen, University of California, Riverside

"The readability of the textbook is excellent -- it covers topics with enough depth for the course that I teach (based in the chemistry department), but is accessible for undergraduate students with little background in biochemical topics." --Sarah Smith, Bucknell College

"The textbook really strengthened my understanding, not just my knowledge. That's rather unusual, and quite praiseworthy." --Austin Hudson-Lapore (Student on Amazon review.)

Glossary

David L. Nelson

David L. Nelson, born in Fairmont, Minnesota, received his BS inchemistry and biology from St. Olaf College in 1964, and earned his PhD inbiochemistry at Stanford Medical School, under Arthur Kornberg. He was apostdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Medical School with Eugene P. Kennedy,who was one of Albert Lehninger’s first graduate students. Nelson joinedthe faculty of the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1971 and became afull professor of biochemistry in 1982. For eight years he was Director ofthe Center for Biology Education at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Hebecame Professor Emeritus in 2013. Nelson’s research focused on the signaltransductions that regulate ciliary motion and exocytosis in the protozoanParamecium. For 43 years he taught (with Mike Cox) an intensive survey ofbiochemistry for advanced biochemistry undergraduates in the life sciences.He has also taught graduate courses on membrane structure and function, aswell as on molecular neurobiology. He has received awards for hisoutstanding teaching, including the Dreyfus Teacher–Scholar Award and theAtwood Distinguished Professorship. In 1991–1992 he was a visitingprofessor of chemistry and biology at Spelman College. Nelson’s second loveis history, and in his dotage he teaches the history of biochemistry andcollects antique scientific instruments.

Michael M. Cox

Michael M. Cox was born in Wilmington, Delaware. In his firstbiochemistry course, the first edition of Lehninger’s Biochemistry was amajor influence in refocusing his fascination with biology and inspiringhim to pursue a career in biochemistry. After graduate work at BrandeisUniversity with William P. Jencks and postdoctoral work at Stanford with I.Robert Lehman, he moved to the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1983. Hebecame a full professor of Biochemistry in 1992. Mike Cox has coordinatedan active research team at Wisconsin investigating the function andmechanism of enzymes that act at the interface of DNA replication, repair, and recombination. That work has resulted in over 200 publications to date.For more than three decades, Cox has taught introductory biochemistry toundergraduates and has lectured in a variety of graduate courses. Heorganized a course on professional responsibility for first-year graduatestudents and established a systematic program to draw talented biochemistryundergraduates into the laboratory at an early stage of their collegecareer. He has received multiple awards for both his teaching and hisresearch, including the Eli Lilly Award in Biological Chemistry, electionas a AAAS fellow, and the UW Regents Teaching Excellence Award. Cox’shobbies include turning 18 acres of Wisconsin farmland into an arboretum,wine collecting, and assisting in the design of laboratory buildings.
