The latest addition to No Starch Press's EduManga series,
The Manga Guide to Biochemistry uses Japanese comics,
clear explanations, and a charming storyline to explain
the basics of biochemistry. This volume begins with a
discussion of the cells that make up living beings, as
well as the basics of protein synthesis, metabolism,
energy production, and photosynthesis. It goes on to
cover ecosystems and material cycles; the mechanisms of
respiration; lipids, cholesterol, and blood types; and
the roles and structures of enzymes and proteins. Readers
explore genes and DNA; the differences between
biochemistry and molecular biology; and the mystery
surrounding the origin of the cell - all with the aid of
original Manga cartoons. This EduManga title is co-
published with Ohmsha, Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan, and is one
in a series of translations from Ohmsha's bestselling
Japanese originals.
