This is a volume on biochemistry in the CMM series. The purpose of the series is to provide the student with the essential core of the subject that must be known, together with self assessment sections to ensure understanding and retention. For the better student, it will be a review and self-testing book which will complement the major textbooks of biochemistry, whereas for the less able student it will be the sole book, and will define the essential body of knowledge necessary for exam success. Features: * Concise text covering core of biochemistry necessary for medicine - this is what the student must know to pass the exam. * Extensive self testing material - short note questions, MCQ's, true/false questions. Ideal for both acquisition of understanding and later exam revision. * Liberally illustrated with clear line diagrams * Contains two major sections - general biochemistry and the biochemistry systems, which are ideal for the modern, shorter systems orientated course.
