Samenvatting

Chemistry pervades our life, giving shape and character to the world around us. It moulds our climate, fuels our transport, gives food its taste and smell. Most of all, chemistry powers life itself.

Chemistry for the Biosciences leads students through the essential concepts that are central to understanding biological systems, using everyday examples and analogies to build their confidence in an often daunting subject. Placing an emphasis on clear, straightforward explanations, it fosters understanding as opposed to rote learning; by using relevant biological examples throughout, it illustrates just how integral chemistry is to the biosciences.

With scientific research placing more emphasis on the interface of chemistry and biology than ever before, few can not argue that mastering some essential chemical concepts is central to fully understanding biology itself. Chemistry for the Biosciences is the ideal teaching and learning resource to ensure today's biology students grasp these concepts, and appreciate their importance throughout the subject.

New to this edition:

- Significantly expanded coverage of reaction mechanisms now extends over two chapters to give a more in-depth treatment of this topic
- More extensive use of biological examples, particularly in those topics related to physical chemistry, makes the content even more tailored to a bioscience audience
- Greater depth of coverage of selected topics makes the book more useful to a broader range of students, without it sacrificing a focus on essential concepts
- New Maths Tool panels provide extra explanations of key mathematical concepts that are used within the book
- The extensive illustrations are refreshed with a new two-colour text design
- Extended treatment of acids, bases and buffers in chapter 16 emphasises the importance of acids and bases in biological systems
- A greatly reorganized chapter on molecular interactions enhances the coverage of this important topic
- Revised coverage of chemical analysis now includes centrifugation, and features more explanation of the conceptual basis of spectroscopy
- An expanded Online Resource Centre now features online MCQs for students to use during revision or self-directed learning
