DESCRIPTION
Marks’ Basic Medical Biochemistry takes a patient-
oriented approach that links biochemistry
to physiology and pathophysiology, allowing
students to apply fundamental concepts to the
practice of medicine—from diagnosing patients to
recommending effective treatments. Intuitively
organized chapters center on hypothetical patient
vignettes and helpful icons allow for smooth
navigation, making complex concepts easier to
grasp!
