Biochemistry & Metabolism









First principles chapter clearly explains the key concepts and mechanisms relevant to the study of medicine e.g. types of biochemical reaction, enzymes and cofactors
Systems-based chapters describe the structures such as proteins and fats and processes such as haemoglobin metabolism that underpin normal functions, each chapter introduced by an engaging clinical case that features a unique graphic narrative
Self-Assessment – 80 multiple choice questions in clinical SBA format, in line with current exam format
