All end-of-chapter questions are available as online assessments in Achieve with hints, targeted feedback, and detailed solutions. Skills You Need activities support students with review and practice of prerequisite skills and concepts from chemistry, biology, and math  for each biochemistry chapter. Instructor Activity Guides give you everything you need to plan and implement activities including interactive media, Clicker questions, and pre- and post-class assessments. Interactive Molecular Figures allow students to view and interact with textbook illustrations of protein structures online in interactive 3-D models for a better understanding of their three-dimensional structures. Updated and expanded instructor resources and tools. Additional Media Features in Achieve:Interactive Metabolic Map allows students to navigate and zoom between overviews and detailed views of the most commonly taught metabolic pathways. Embedded Tours take students through the pathways step-by-step, helping them to both visualize concepts in isolation and understand how concepts are connected.  By examining the pathways in this way, students are better equipped to understand the meaning of those connections.  Assessment questions help students solidify their understanding and provide more structure to their learning.  *Metabolic Pathways include: glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, the pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid synthesis, the urea cycle, and β oxidation. LearningCurve Adaptive Quizzing motivates reading and keeps students on pace with study with a fun game-like activity to quiz retention and understanding of concepts. Case Studies introduce students to a biochemical mystery and allows them to determine what investigations will solve it. Accompanying assessments ensure that students have fully completed and understood the case study, showing that they have applied their knowledge of the concepts. Topics include:A Likely Story: Enzyme InhibitionAn Unexplained Death: Carbohydrate MetabolismA Day at the Beach: Lipid MetabolismRunner's Experiment: Integration of Metabolism NEW! pH Peril: pH and Amino Acid Structure Profound Relevance: Hemoglobin Regulation (Bohr Effect)Observation Over Intuition: Thermodynamics of Protein Folding Animated Mechanisms designed to enhance lecture or student study and help with visualizationAnimated Techniques are short animations of laboraatory techniques. Designed to provide students with an overview of protocol, these animations give students a conceptual understanding of what is happening at the chemical level.Problem Solving Video with diagrams, graphs and narration these videos walk students through problems on difficult topics helping them understand the right approach to the solution.HallmarkText Features Chemical Logic:Chemical Logic discusses the common biochemical reaction types that underlie all metabolic reactions, helping students to connect organic chemistry with biochemistry.Chemical Logic Figures highlight the conversation of mechanisms and illustrate patterns that make learning pathways easier. (Provided for each of the central metabolic pathways)Focus on Visualization:Clear Art includes molecular structures created specifically for Lehninger to keep consistency with color and shape schemes.Understandable Figures include numbers with annotated steps to explain complex processes. Mechanism Figures features step-by-step descriptions to help students understand the reaction process. Summary Figures help students keep the big picture in mind while learning the specificEmphasis on Problem Solving:In-text Worked Examples take students through particular difficult equations to improve their quantitative problem-solving skills.Data Analysis Problems (one at the end of each chapter), contributed by Brian White of the University of Massachusetts–Boston, encourage students to synthesize what they have learned and apply their knowledge to the interpretation of data from the literature.More than 600 end-of-chapter problems (all available in Achieve) give students further opportunity to practice what they have learned.Tools for Understanding: Key Conventions include clear statements of many assumptions and conventions that students areSpecial Themes--Metabolic Integration, Obesity, and Diabetes, EvolutionMedical Insights and Applications-Icons used throughout the book denote material of special medical interest and updated to reflect the most current content.New_to_this_editionSupport in Achieve Lehninger’s Principles of Biochemistry is now supported in Achieve.  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.

Content has been streamlined so the text is focused on what is most important and useful to modern students and for future reference! Organized around principles for better understanding This edition provides a new learning path for students, through emphasis on the fundamental principles of biochemistry. Streamlined for easier navigation A new, vibrant design improves navigation through the content.Based on extensive user feedback, the authors have carefully trimmed topics and subtopics to emphasize crucial content, resulting in shorter chapters and an overall reduction in book length. New or revised figures reflect current research findings. Captions have been streamlined throughout.Where possible, figures have been simplified, and many figures now have step-by-step annotations, reducing caption length.A revised photo program emphasizes context-rich images.The end-of-chapter problem sets have been thoroughly revised.
