LibGuides: Amino Acids Pathfinder: Books and E-Books

Searching the MSU Catalog

As you advance in your studies, these subject areas will help you find related materials for your research. Terms can be combined to narrow searches. Also, as you bring up an item in the MSU Catalog, scroll down to the subject headings to find other possible subjects to look under. Names of specific amino acids can also be used in this search method. Don't forget to use synonyms, names of noted experts, organizations, etc. in your searches. If you do not find any hits, try broadening your topic or change to a keyword search.

Lippincott Illustrated Reviews: Biochemistry by Denise R. Ferrier
Call Number: QP514.2 .C48 2017
ISBN: 9781496344496
Publication Date: 2017-01-14
This is an introductory guide/review to biochemistry. Each chapter is set up with a topic in biochemistry (for example ch.1: Amino Acids, ch.18: Cholesterol and Steroid Metabolism, etc.). Every topic contains colored diagrams and pictures summarizing the chapter and vocabulary words are written in bold. At the end of every chapter is a written summary, a review of biochemical processes presented in the chapter, and a list of study questions with the answers. The last chapter contains a summary of every topic presented in the book. Chapter 1 is specifically about amino acids.
