Features: This book is a textbook of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for 5-year medical programs. It is divided into four parts: Biomolecules, Metabolism and Regulation, Foundations of Molecular Genetics, and Biochemistry of Tissues and Organs, comprising 18 chapters. "Rooted in China, Striving for the World" is the guiding principle of this book. It aims not only to help medical students master biochemistry but also to lay a solid foundation for their study of other medical courses, while keeping pace with the times and aligning with international standards. China joined the WTO in 2001, making the popularization of bilingual education a pressing priority. This book represents an initial attempt in this regard, with a wealth of English vocabulary included in the text, as well as a CD-ROM appended at the end. The CD-ROM contains English vocabulary, explanations of English terms, and English abstracts, all read by foreign instructors, facilitating students' listening and reading, and enabling self-study of professional English in biochemistry. "Easy to teach, easy to understand, and contemporary in style" are the key features of this book. It covers all the content required for the National Medical Examination for Licensed Physicians. In terms of format, it uses both large and small fonts. The large-font sections present core requirements in concise language, making them easy to understand and master. The small-font sections include new developments, emerging technologies, and the connection between biochemistry and clinical practice. Although optional, this content broadens students' horizons. The book is richly illustrated, making the text vivid and engaging. The CD-ROM appended at the end features exquisite illustrations to spark learning interest. Each chapter concludes with a summary and review questions for reinforcement. An English-Chinese index is provided at the end for easy reference. Additionally, recommended supplementary reading materials and professional journals, as well as a chronicle of major events in medical biochemistry and molecular biology, are included to help students stay informed about the latest developments in the field.
