Features: The primary target audience for Biochemistry is five-year medical program undergraduates, with adaptability for seven- and eight-year program students. Some content in Part Four may still be selected for lecture based on specific institutional needs. This edition is revised based on the fifth edition, maintaining a similar framework and core content to ensure continuity. The main changes include:
1. New concepts have been added to relevant chapters in line with disciplinary advancements. Examples include: proteomics, RNA interference, protein conformational diseases, and enzymatic DNA.
2. Adjustments have been made to individual chapters. For instance, the "Introduction" is not numbered; the original Chapter 23, "Common Techniques in Molecular Biology and the Human Genome Project," has been split into two independent chapters: "Principles and Applications of Molecular Biology Techniques" and "Genomics and Medicine," with additional content added.
3. Textual content and figures in some chapters have been revised. To enhance readability, selected illustrations in this book are printed in color and compiled at the back.
4. To facilitate teaching and learning for instructors and students, each book is accompanied by a supplementary teaching resource CD-ROM. The primary target audience for this textbook is five-year medical program undergraduates, with adaptability for seven- and eight-year program students. Some content in Part Four may still be selected for lecture based on specific institutional needs.
