The text is divided into two introductory chapters (“Biochemistry & Medicine” and “Water & pH”) followed by six
main sections.
Section I deals with the structures and functions of proteins and enzymes, the workhorses of the body. Because
almost all of the reactions in cells are catalyzed by enzymes, it is vital to understand the properties of enzymes before
considering other topics.
Section II explains how various cellular reactions either utilize or release energy, and it traces the pathways by
which carbohydrates and lipids are synthesized and degraded. It also describes the many functions of these two
classes of molecules.
Section III deals with the amino acids and their many fates and also describes certain key features of protein catabolism.
Section IV describes the structures and functions of the nucleotides and nucleic acids, and covers many major
topics such as DNA replication and repair, RNA synthesis and modification, and protein synthesis. It also discusses
new findings on how genes are regulated and presents the principles of recombinant DNA technology.
Section V deals with aspects of extracellular and intracellular communication. Topics covered include membrane
structure and function, the molecular bases of the actions of hormones, and the key field of signal transduction.
Section VI consists of discussions of eleven special topics: nutrition, digestion, and absorption; vitamins and
minerals; intracellular traffic and sorting of proteins; glycoproteins; the extracellular matrix; muscle and the cytoskeleton;
plasma proteins and immunoglobulins; hemostasis and thrombosis; red and white blood cells; the metabolism
of xenobiotics; and the Human Genome Project.
