Lehninger’s Principles of Biochemistry is now available in the Achieve platform. Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, including assets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study and assessment. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding biochemistry content provides an unrivaled learning experience. Chemical Logic’ discusses the common biochemical reaction types that underlie all metabolic reactions, helping students to connect organic chemistry with biochemistry, and ‘Chemical Logic Figures’ highlight the conversation of mechanisms and illustrate patterns that make learning pathways easier. (Provided for each of the central metabolic pathways.) New box on G proteins, proteins that regulate their GTPase activity, and the medical consequences of defective G protein function New descriptions of volatile lipids used as signals by plants, and pigments of bird feathers derived from colored lipids in plant foods

Tools for understanding are provided including ‘Key Conventions’ and ‘Special Themes’ (Metabolic Integration, Obesity, and Diabetes, Evolution) as well as ‘Medical Insights and Applications-Icons’ used throughout the book denote material of special medical interest and updated to reflect the most current content.Mitochondrial Genes: Their Origin and the Effects of Mutations Photosynthesis: Harvesting Light Energy Expanded section on bilayer dynamics covers flippases, floppases, scramblases, and bilayer asymmetry More than 600 end-of-chapter problems (all available in Achieve) give students further opportunity to practice what they have learned.

A design guided by learning science research. Co-designed through extensive collaboration and testing by both students and faculty including two levels of Institutional Review Board approval for every study of Achieve Migration Tool to move your assignments from your previous Sapling Course into your new Achieve course The new edition brings this remarkable text into a new era. Like its predecessors, Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Sixth Edition strikes a careful balance of current science and enduring concepts, incorporating a tremendous amount of new findings, but only those that help illustrate biochemistry’s foundational principles. With this edition, students will encounter new information emerging from high throughput DNA sequencing, x-ray crystallography, and the manipulation of genes and gene expression, and other techniques. In addition, students will see how contemporary biochemistry has shifted away from exploring metabolic pathways in isolation to focusing on interactions among pathways. They will also get an updated understanding of the relevance of biochemistry to the study of human disease (especially diabetes) as well as the important role of evolutionary theory in biochemical research. Chemical Logic Figures highlight the conversation of mechanisms and illustrate patterns that make learning pathways easier. (Provided for each of the central metabolic pathways) Instructor Activity Guides, developed with instructors and tied to the principles framework, include both instructor material and assessable student materialExpanded and integrated treatment of local signaling circuits, including AKAPs and signaling complexes that include protein kinase A, adenylyl cyclase, and phosphodiesterase, and localized puffs and waves of Ca2+ Mechanism Figures features step-by-step descriptions to help students understand the reaction process. Animated Techniques are short animations of laboraatory techniques. Designed to provide students with an overview of protocol, these animations give students a conceptual understanding of what is happening at the chemical level.
