Description: "Biochemical abnormalities play a key role in human illness. To pinpoint effective curative solutions, biochemical pharmacologists use drugs to discover new information about biosynthetic pathways and their kinetics. Using a more chemistry- and mechanism-oriented approach than standard pharmacology books, Introduction to Biochemical Pharmacology is a one-stop reference that focuses on how a drug interacts with a target receptor or enzyme at the molecular level. Learning is reinforced through the use of end-of-chapter exercises, PowerPoint slides, and a problem-and-solutions manual"--Provided by publisher.
