Biochemistry 10th Edition by Mary K. Campbell
Quick Navigation

Overview

The 10th edition of "Biochemistry" offers new resources to help students learn and understand biochemical structures and prepare to use biochemistry in their future careers. New author Saul Treviño brings his experience in teaching the biochemistry course to revisions that help students learn and understand biochemical structures, enzyme names and mechanism. A new chart highlights connections between amino acids, and additional revisions review functional groups from organic chemistry and help students connect them to biochemistry. Art updates clarify key concepts and processes, while improving connections between concepts across the text. Assignments, including new MCAT prep questions, are now available in WebAssign, Cengage’s online learning platform for STEM courses.

Mary K. Campbell

Mary K. Campbell was Professor Emeritus of chemistry at Mount Holyoke College, where she taught biochemistry, general chemistry, and physical chemistry, as well as advised undergraduates working on biochemical research projects. Her avid interest in writing led to the publication of many highly successful editions of INTRODUCTION TO GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND BIOCHEMISTRY. She also coauthored BIOCHEMISTRY with Shawn O. Farrell. Originally from Philadelphia, Dr. Campbell received her Ph.D. from Indiana University and completed post-doctoral work in biophysical chemistry at Johns Hopkins University. Her areas of interest included researching the physical chemistry of biomolecules, specifically, spectroscopic studies of protein-nucleic acid interactions.

What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Assignments in WebAssign, Cengage’s online platform for STEM courses, help students understand core concepts, develop problem-solving skills and learn from mistakes.
  • MCAT preparation problems, available in WebAssign, help pre-med students learn the biochemistry tested on the MCAT.
  • A reimagined amino acid structure chart connects groups of amino acids and encourages students to think about functional groups that appear in other biomolecules.
  • Material reviewing functional groups from organic chemistry has been completely revised, helping students draw connections between biochemistry and organic chemistry.

Features
