Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry: A Clinical Approach, 2nd edition

by Colleen Smith, Michael A. Lieberman, Allan D. Marks

This best-selling resource utilizes a comprehensive yet practical approach that students understand. The authors present facts and pathways to emphasize how the underlying biochemistry is related to the body's overall physiological functions. Detailed case studies show students the relationship between biochemistry and clinical problems. The Second Edition has been heavily revised with completely updated illustrations while maintaining the unique, patient-oriented approach that made the original so popular.

A new CD-ROM in the back of the book features chapter-by-chapter test questions, detailed 3-D representations of enzyme structure, PowerPoint slides, and real patient stories.

If you've ever wondered why cholera causes explosive diarhea, then this is the book for you. I don't want to give away the whole plot, but I have no respect for ADP-Riboses after reading this book!

This is on my kitchen table at the moment (Oct. 2018), so it occurs to me to add it.

GREAT book. I have not read every word of its 950 pages, but I've read A LOT of it, and it is one of my all-time favorite text books and one that I go back to often when I wish to review things. (It was one of our texts in the military physician assistant program, in 2008.) If you want to understand basic human nutrition . . . or how medicines work . . . this is your book. This, plus an excellent book on human anatomy and physiology--I'll have to list a favorite A&P text here, separately.

The basis of my medical education. The foundation of life.
Good "storytime" reading for your children too!

On my notes from my poster session at EB2013 I have written "Mark's Basic Biochemistry" and zero recollection of why I wrote that.
