Biochemistry

A college-level textbook on biochemistry by Geoffrey L. Zubay, published by Addison-Wesley and issued in hardcover in 1983. It introduces the chemistry of living systems to undergraduate students. Topics typically include the structure and behavior of proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids, enzyme catalysis, metabolic pathways, and how cells store and use energy.

The book is written for students taking a first biochemistry course, usually after foundations in general chemistry and organic chemistry. It suits anyone preparing for advanced study in biology, chemistry or medicine who needs a clear, structured survey of the field.
