BOOK
Basic Biological Chemistry
Basic Biological Chemistry (Third Edition) by Henry R. Mahler and Eugene H. Cordes is a foundational academic textbook that introduces the chemical principles governing biological systems. The book presents a systematic treatment of the structure and function of biomolecules, including proteins, enzymes, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, with strong emphasis on metabolic pathways and enzyme mechanisms.
This edition reflects the maturity of biochemistry as a discipline in the mid‑1960s and integrates classical chemical principles with emerging concepts in molecular biology. Written for undergraduate and early graduate students in chemistry, biology, and medicine, the text is recognized for its clear explanations, rigorous organization, and comprehensive coverage, which contributed to its wide adoption in university curricula.
