BRS Biochemistry Molecular Biology and Genetics 6/e

BRS Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Genetics is an excellent aid for USMLE Step 1 preparation and for coursework
in biochemistry, molecular biology, and genetics. Fully updated for its sixth edition, chapters are written in an
outline format and include pedagogical features such as bolded key words, figures, tables, algorithms, and highlighted
clinical correlates. USMLE-style questions and answers follow each chapter and a comprehensive exam appears at the end
of the book.
