Panini (biochemistry, Emory U. School of Medicine) presents this review of biochemistry aimed at medical students and MD graduates about to face the US Medical Licensing Exam. The book is organized in five large sections covering nutrition, membrane transport and signaling, cellular respiration, metabolism of different classes of biomolecules, and the workings of DNA in the life cycle of the cell. Color-coded headings and +/- notation for regulatory action, defined at the front of the book, allow readers to quickly categorize information visually during study. Questions are designed in the style of the licensing exam, with additional material available online. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
