Chapters 6–8 explain where enzymes derive the catalytic power, specificity, and control they have to drive chemical and energetic transformations.
Case Studies. Introduce students to a biochemical mystery and allow them to determine what investigations will solve it.
Metabolic Map: With this interactive tool, students can navigate and zoom between overviews and detailed views of the most commonly taught metabolic pathways. Embedded Tutorials take students through the pathways step by step. Assessment questions align with the interactive map to help students verify their understanding of the pathways and connections among the pathways. *Metabolic Pathways include: glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, the pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid synthesis, the urea cycle, and β oxidation.
