COLOR ATLAS OF BIOCHEMISTRY

The cut-off point between biochemistry and its neighboring specialties such as cell biology, anatomy, physiology, genetics, or pharmacology, is difficult to define and sometimes arbitrary. It is no accident that the specialties overlap, as the subject is are often the same, e.g. a nerve cell or a mitochondrium only the perspectives of the individual specialties are different. So this color atlas fits well into the range of the others.

Topics are limited to the human biochemistry information of paramount interest to medical students and are intended to provide an overview using compact graphic information on central topics, deliberately freeing the reader from the ballast of the natural sciences and to add more pathobiochemical information. Color codes and symbols for different groups have been used to enable easier reading (.e.g. proteins are brown, carbohydrates violet, etc.), and The new color thumb index guides the reader through the book and allows quick orientation.
