PUBLISHING NEWS: Foundations of Biochemistry

Offering 3 new activities (Chemistry in an Aqueous Environment, Structure of the Protein α Helix, and Understanding Complex Chemical Systems in Living Organisms) as well as new skill exercises, reading guides, and general updates to several activities, the upcoming 4th Edition of Foundations of Biochemistry promises to be just what the doctors of biochemistry ordered! While the work on this new edition continues even now, it will be ready for Fall 2015.

Note for instructors:
• Any orders placed for the 3rd edition for fall will be filled with the 4th edition.
• If you currently have access to the Online Resources for the 3rd edition, your access will simply continue and the new site will replace the old by mid-July

At a net price of $22 (list/web $29), with all the new content, myriad upgrades, & selected color pages, the value for this highly-regarded POGIL workbook is as great as ever.
