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. 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. The summary of principals and the highlighting of these principals throughout the text. This is really helpful! The Boxes with additional information, particularly clinical relevance of the material. Most of my students are pre-med and it helps them engage in the material better if there is clinical relevance. The problems at the end of the chapter. These are really beneficial for the students who want to make sure they understand the material." --Robin Haynes, Harvard University Section management courses allow you to make copies of your course when teaching multiple sections or to serve as a coordinator for other instructors sections. Expanded and updated section on lipid rafts and caveolae includes new material on membrane curvature and the proteins that influence it, and introduces amphitropic proteins and annular lipidsThe 8th edition has been fully revised for up-to-date content, as well as to effectively support student study. Written for students learning biochemistry for the first time, the authors have identified and noted fundamental biochemistry principles throughout the text. Content has been streamlined so the text is focused on what is most important and useful to modern students and for future reference! Animated Mechanisms’ have been designed to enhance lecture or student study and help with visualization. New medical box on how the high rate of glycolysis in cancerous tissue aids cancer diagnosis and treatment An interactive e-book with embedded multimedia and features for highlighting, note-taking and accessibility support New box on G proteins, proteins that regulate their GTPase activity, and the medical consequences of defective G protein function

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. Chemical Logic Figures highlight the conversation of mechanisms and illustrate patterns that make learning pathways easier. (Provided for each of the central metabolic pathways) In-text Worked Examples take students through particular difficult equations to improve their quantitative problem-solving skills. New box on the role of histone modification and nucleosome deposition in the transmission of epigenetic information in heredity
