Main description:

Sweet Biochemistry: Remembering Structures, Cycles, and Pathways by Mnemonics, Second Edition makes biochemistry lively, interesting and memorable by connecting objects, images and stories to biochemistry concepts. Dr. Asha Kumari has converted cycles and difficult pathways into very simple formula and very short stories and images which will help readers see familiar things in complicated cycles and better visualize biochemistry. Biochemistry is evolving steadily, with new and impactful topics that need to be understood clearly for successful research and application.

With this in mind, this new, edition has been fully updated to include mnemonics on new, timely topics in biochemistry such as DNA replication, RNA, transcription and translation, and CRISPR technology, as well as fundamentals of immunity.
