One aim of Gilmer’s captivating text on university pedagogy is to show that biochemistry (or any science) does not consist solely of facts to be learned, but is a way of thinking about the world. Her purpose, both in this book and in her classroom, is to make her students into critical thinkers rather than passive learners. The chapters cast a critical eye over research into enhanced education techniques such as collaborative learning. Gilmer describes the action research she conducted in her own biochemistry undergraduate classroom into ways of improving the learning environment. She offers various perspectives on the make-up of her classroom, including an analysis of ethnographic data. The tools Gilmer employs as she hones her teaching skills include collaborative learning and technology. She views the classroom through various theoretical perspectives: social constructivism, cultural-historical activity theory, and a theory that involves the dialectic between the structure of the learning environment and the agency of the learners (a group among whom she includes herself). She provides a wealth of autobiographical detail as well as the results of her action research, which followed up on its original subjects after an interval of 11 years, to see what impact her course had on their professional growth. Above all, this volume is proof of what can be achieved in education when teachers are as interested in the process of learning as they are in their subject itself.

Biochemistry addresses the diverse needs of premed, biochemistry, and life science majors by presenting relevant material while still preserving a chemical perspective. Presented within the next generation of WileyPLUS, Biochemistry emphasizes worked problems through video walkthroughs, interactive elements and expanded end-of-chapter problems with a wide range of subject matter and difficulty. The worked problems in the course are both qualitative and quantitative and model for students the biochemical reasoning they need to practice. Students will often be asked to analyze data and make critical assessments of experiments.

The purpose of the present text is to distil the experience of a number of workers active in the field of biochemical education, so providing readable accounts which, it is hoped, will be of significant benefit to those who are new to the teaching profession in addition to those who may be stimulated to experiment with alternative strategies in their own teaching situation. From the various contributions considered in this book, each topic, in its widest sense, would warrant at least a volume on its own and indeed such texts are currently available. However, it was felt more appropriate to restrict the coverage to those aspects which are of particular use to the subject of biochemistry and, for which, work in this area has already achieved some measure of success. In effect what each of us is doing is supplying findings from a body of knowledge collectively called educational technology. Without entering the debate on the semantics of what educational technology is or is not, it doesn't take long to realise that, like the vast majority of subject areas, it has its own unique terminologies and vocabulary. Whilst it is inevitable that such terms will appear throughout the text, hopefully all will be explained on first use and so it is not envisaged that this will be too distractive to the reader.

Biochemistry is the branch of science that studies the chemical reactions and compounds found in living things. Molecular biology is the study of the molecular processes underlying biological activities; it aspires to shed light on the cellular or molecular complexity of life. Structure and function in biomolecules including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids are among the many subjects covered by this branch of biology. Its primary objective is to understand the complex molecular mechanisms that are the foundation of the basic processes that are fundamental to life. This book serves as a complete reference to the fundamentals and complexities of basic biochemistry. It provides an expedition into the molecular world, where cellular architecture and metabolic pathways are responsible for conducting the symphony of life. Exploring the intricacies of biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, this book delves into the roles these molecules play in regulating biological processes, cell functioning, and signal transmission. By blending contemporary research with traditional concepts, the book offers a dynamic perspective that highlights the ever-changing nature of biological events. Using clear explanations, graphics that illustrate concepts, and examples, the purpose of this book is to inspire the interest of the next generation of scientists, encourage them to make discoveries and equip them with the tools necessary to traverse the fascinating landscape of general biochemistry.
