David L. Nelson & Michael M. Cox – Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 7th edition

Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry is the #1 bestseller for the introductory biochemistry course because it brings clarity and coherence to an often unwieldy discipline, offering a thoroughly updated survey of biochemistry’s enduring principles, definitive discoveries, and groundbreaking new advances with each edition. This new Seventh Edition maintains the qualities that have distinguished the text since Albert Lehninger’s original edition–clear writing, careful explanations of difficult concepts, helpful problem-solving support, and insightful communication of contemporary biochemistry’s core ideas, new techniques, and pivotal discoveries.

Again, David Nelson and Michael Cox introduce students to an extraordinary amount of exciting new findings without an overwhelming amount of extra discussion or detail. And with this edition, W. H. Freeman and Sapling Learning have teamed up to provide the book’s richest, most completely integrated text/media learning experience yet, through an extraordinary new online resource: SaplingPlus.

From the preface: “With the advent of increasingly robust technologies that provide cellular and organismal views of molecular processes, progress in biochemistry continues apace, providing both new wonders and new challenges. The image on our cover depicts an active spliceosome, one of the largest molecular machines in a eukaryotic cell, and one that is only now yielding to modern structural analysis. It is an example of our current understanding of life at the level of molecular structure. The image is a snapshot from a highly complex set of reactions, in better focus than ever before. But in the cell, this is only one of many steps linked spatially and temporally to many other complex processes that remain to be unraveled and eventually described in future editions. Our goal in this seventh edition of Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, as always, is to strike a balance: to include new and exciting research findings without making the book overwhelming for students. The primary criterion for inclusion of an advance is that the new finding helps to illustrate an important principle of biochemistry.

“With every revision of this textbook, we have striven to maintain the qualities that made the original Lehninger text a classic: clear writing, careful explanations of difficult concepts, and insightful communication to students of the ways in which biochemistry is understood and practiced today. We have coauthored this text and taught introductory biochemistry together for three decades. Our thousands of students at the University of Wisconsin Madison over those years have been an endless source of ideas on how to present biochemistry more clearly; they have enlightened and inspired us. We hope that this seventh edition of Lehninger will, in turn, enlighten current students of biochemistry everywhere, and inspire all of them to love biochemistry as we do.”
