Section IV describes the structure and function of nucleotides and nucleic acids, DNA replication and repair, RNA synthesis and modification, protein synthesis, the principles of recombinant DNA technology, and new understanding of how gene expression is regulated. Section V deals with aspects of extracellular and intracellular communication. Section VI includes fifteen special topics, ranging from nutrition, digestion and absorption to the biochemistry of aging New to this edition: New chapters on Aging, Cancer, and Clinical Chemistry Every chapter has been updated to reflect the latest advances in knowledge and technology Each chapter now begins with a statement of objectives, followed by a brief discussion of the biomedical importance of topics discussed within the chapter 250 multiple-choice questions to test your knowledge and comprehension Increased number of tables that encapsulate important information, such as vitamin and mineral requirements.
