Features: Based on the second edition, this book has been revised in accordance with the principles of highlighting "Three Basics" (basic theories, fundamental knowledge, and basic skills) and "Five Qualities" (scientificity, ideological nature, advanced nature, heuristic nature, and applicability), while also taking into account the teaching characteristics of biology, biotechnology (or bioengineering) and other related fields. The content selection in this edition is well-balanced, with language that is easy to understand, focusing primarily on fundamental knowledge while appropriately reflecting the latest developments in modern biochemistry. This book can be used as a textbook for life science-related majors in comprehensive universities, normal universities, and other institutions, as well as for reference by faculty and students in medical universities, agricultural and forestry universities, and related fields. The book is divided into seventeen chapters. Chapters 1 to 7 cover the chemical structure, properties, and functions of biological substances, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, vitamins, and hormones; chapters 8 to 12 focus on the metabolism of biological substances, including biooxidation, carbohydrate metabolism, the regulation of material metabolism, and the transmission of extracellular signals; the final chapter is on genetic engineering and protein engineering. Each chapter includes exercise questions and learning points with Chinese-English. At the end of the book, there is an appendix with commonly used abbreviations in biochemistry, an index, and references.
