About this product

Product Information

Presenting essential concepts of biochemistry - molecular biology, basic chemistry, metabolism and transcription regulation, this concise text is a resource for students in the biochemistry of humans during physical activity. It is designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in exercise physiology with a limited background in biology and chemistry. The book aims to provide students with an understanding of the biochemistry of humans during physical activity, and of the molecular developments which are at the forefront of exercise science. It should also be a useful reference for researchers in exercise physiology. Arranged in three parts, the book first presents the basic elements involved in molecular biology, providing an overview of amino acid building blocks, protein structure and the function of enzymes, and the components of DNA and RNA. The second part provides essential information on gene transcription and protein synthesis, discussing different kinds of RNA and their function in human biochemistry. The final part informs students about the important elements involved in human metabolic reactions for carbohydrates, fats and amino acids, providing a summary of basic chemistry to assist in the understanding of biochemistry.
