Features: Medical chemistry is an emerging discipline that elucidates the chemical mechanisms of disease occurrence and development. Its foundational understanding is that disease is an expression of a sequence of biological events, while biological events are composed of chemical events. On this basis, diseases are categorized into several disease groups based on the common chemical links in their pathological processes, and clinical manifestations are connected using chemical concepts and methods to explain the biological and chemical events in the process. This book contains approximately 250,000 Chinese characters, excluding the introduction and conclusion, and sequentially elaborates on the general of disease groups such as free radical damage, toxic diseases, molecular structural abnormalities and deficiencies, and abnormal mineralization. Its purpose is to enable students majoring in chemistry to grasp the basic principles of disease occurrence and development in a comprehensive manner, thereby deepening their understanding and application of fundamental chemical principles. Additionally, it allows students of biomedical sciences to view diverse pathological processes from a new perspective. This book is suitable as a textbook and teaching reference for students majoring in chemistry, biology, and medicine.
