Overview

Biochemistry: An Integrative Approach is addressed to premed, biochemistry, and life science majors taking a one-semester biochemistry course. This version includes the first 12 chapters and should only be used for one-semester biochemistry courses. Biochemistry addresses the diverse needs of premed, biochemistry, and life science majors by presenting relevant material while still preserving a chemical perspective. Presented within the next generation of WileyPLUS, Biochemistry emphasizes worked problems through video walkthroughs, interactive elements and expanded end-of-chapter problems with a wide range of subject matter and difficulty. The worked problems in the course are both qualitative and quantitative and model for students the biochemical reasoning they need to practice. Students will often be asked to analyze data and make critical assessments of experiments.

Author Information

John T. Tansey received his B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Wake Forest University. Following his graduate degree, John undertook a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health in the lab of Dr. Constantine Londos where he led the team that generated and characterized the perilipin 1 knockout mouse. John's scientific interests are a natural extension of his postdoctoral studies and focus on the structure and function of the perilipins, a class of lipid droplet proteins that regulate neutral lipid storage and breakdown. John has been teaching for the past seventeen years in the Chemistry department and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program at Otterbein University, a primarily undergraduate institution outside Columbus, Ohio. He has also taught at the community college and graduate level. John was awarded both the Best New Teacher and Master Teacher awards from his university. He is an education fellow of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) and is a member of the editorial board of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education (BAMBEd). In addition to his basic science interests, he has studied the use of science fiction or other readings to promote engagement and discussion in science classes, integration of codes of conduct and basic ethics in science courses, and development of curricula and tools for programmatic assessment. When he isn't teaching or in the lab, John enjoys cooking, the outdoors, games, and a good laugh.
