Flexible, yet organized, you can learn as much or as little as you like from Bob. Dr. Blanchaer has authored another tutorial based on an unusual case of L-CPT I deficiency. This illness triggers a chain of events that unfold in the tutorial, screen by screen, through two pregnancies and births. Dr. Blanchaer s love for biochemistry is especially apparent in this tutorial. Using diagrams, he explains the complex sequences of splits and bonds in beta oxidation.
Users can literally cycle through the citric acid cycle with the click of a mouse.
The author also tackles the biochemical origins of the severe hypoglycemia that plagues many infants with defects in fat metabolism. As always, he begins with a glossary and ends with a summary. Dr. Blanchaer is Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Manitoba. His tutorials have been used in medical schools around the world. Free download versions are also available for use at institutions or for more leisurely learning on your personal computer.
