The Organic Chemistry of Biological Pathways

摘要

This modern,comprehensive,dense,and beautifully presented book has one goal:to make explicit the mechanistic organic chemistry underlying fundamental biochemical pathways.In this effort it succeeds admirably.An authoritative text set in eight chapters (from 19-168 pages each),The Organic Chemistry of Biological Pathways begins with a condensed overview of the principles and tools required to understand reaction mechanisms followed by a brisk survey of the structure,stereochemistry,acid-base properties,energetics,and biological function of biomolecules.
