Marks' basic medical biochemistry : A clinical approach /

Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry: A Clinical Approach is a comprehensive medical biochemistry textbook that explains the biochemical processes of the human body through a clinically oriented approach. The book integrates fundamental concepts of molecular biology, enzymology, metabolism, genetics, and nutrition with real-life medical cases and disease correlations to help students understand the relationship between biochemistry and clinical medicine. It covers carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and nucleic acid metabolism; cellular communication; gene expression; energy production; hormonal regulation; and tissue-specific metabolism, while emphasizing the biochemical basis of disorders such as diabetes, cancer, inherited metabolic diseases, and cardiovascular conditions. Widely used by medical, dental, pharmacy, and allied health students, the text combines detailed illustrations, clinical examples, and review questions to support both foundational learning and exam preparation.
