Introduction To General Organic And Biochemistry

by Frederick A. Bettelheim

The ultimate goal of Introduction to General, Organic & Biochemistry is to teach the chemistry of the human body, while trying to show that each subsection of chemistry is important in its own right. In its entirety it can be used for a one-year course in chemistry, or parts of the book can be used in a one-term chemistry course. It is intended for nonchemistry majors, mainly those entering health science and related fields, such as nursing, medical technology, physical therapy and nutrition. Introduction to Organic & Biochemistry requires some general chemistry background. * A large amount of boxed applications of chemical concepts highlight the important information of the text more clearly for the student. * The definition of each term in the Glossary-Index is given along with the index entry and the page number. * Lists of key terms at the end of each chapter, with notation of the section number make these terms more accessible study guides for students. * Numerous problems are included at the ends of each chapter--higher level problems are indicated. New to this * New material has been added, including the isoelectric points of amino acids, non-coding DNA satellites and transcription factors and their role in gene regulations. * New examples have been added of exceptions to the octet rule. * Enlarged discussion on immunochemistry, detailing the role of B and T cells.

I'm not a fan of Chemistry, but I found this textbook to be written in a way that made the concepts easier for me to understand. Therefore, I give it three stars even though I didn't enjoy reading it.

I want to start reading, but I do not know how to use the site to read the book

It’s readable enough, but if you’ve got the time, I’d suggest reading something like Organic Chemistry as a Second Language for that part of the course.

Just had to add this book to my current list since it is currently taking my every spare moment. I'm sure it is a fine textbook, but it is not my favorite subject. I'm looking forward to putting this subject past me! 4 more weeks!

worst textbook ever. riddled with typos and errors. distracting layout. not helpful in the least. thankful for a professor who can teach because this book is rubbish.

By "finished", I mean that I got through the first 9 chapters, the class ended, and I'm free! It was a great resource when I couldn't understand my professor.

I especially enjoyed the study guide that accompanies this book. The content of this subject matter is like trying to piece together and take apart a puzzle.
