Understand what you don't know! WileyPLUS for the new third edition of FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOCHEMISTRY now offers over 750 conceptually-based online questions, organized by chapter and topic. These original questions were created by biochemistry Professors at University of Alberta, and have bee3n tested and used since 2000. Now in WileyPLUS, these questions offer practice with instant intelligent feedback that explains why an answer choice is right or wrong. WileyPLUS also contains:Complete online version of FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOCHEMISTRY, Third EditionGuided Explorations and Interactive Exercises that enhance comprehension through animated graphics and narrationAnimated Figures from the textBioinformatics ExercisesCase Studies3D molecular models Booknews Donald Voet (U. of Pennsylvania) and Judith G. Voet (Swarthmore), two of this text's three authors (the third is Charlotte W. Pratt) already have under their belts a larger text, . The present text retains the philosophy of the earlier book, but it is less detailed and constitutes a re-vamped treatment of the subject both in organization and style. The material is organized to correspond with how the authors teach the course, but detailed division into sections and subsections allows instructors with other ideas to organize courses to their own tastes without apprehension that they've missed critical information. The included CD-ROM contains a variety of interactive three-dimensional molecular graphics displays and animations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
