Voet and Pratt's 4th edition of Principles of Biochemistry, challenges readers to better understand the chemistry behind the biological structure and reactions occurring in living systems. The latest edition continues this tradition, and additionally incorporates coverage of recent research and an expanded focus on preparing and supporting students throughout the course. With the addition of new conceptual assessment content to WileyPLUS, providing the opportunity to assess conceptual understanding of key introductory biochemistry concepts and retrain themselves on their misconceptions.

Los prestigiosos autores Donald y Judith Voet, junto con Charlotte Pratt produjeron una vez más una obra de investigación organizada en forma cuidadosa, escrita con claridad, que incluye múltiples ilustraciones sobre las estructuras de las moléculas biológicas, la actividad metabólica de las células y los principios de la biología molecular. En el libro se describen las técnicas de análisis más relevantes y, cuando corresponde, las correlaciones entre los conocimientos bioquímicos, la salud y las enfermedades humanas.
