DESCRIPTION
Marks’ Essentials of 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. Based on the established text, Marks’
Basic Medical Biochemistry, Marks’ Essentials is
streamlined to focus only on the most essential
biochemical concepts, while maintaining intuitively
organized chapters centered on hypothetical patient
vignettes and helpful icons for smooth navigation.
