his book provides a comprehensive account of the fundamentals and developments in biochemistry and related materials science topics. Combining elements of scientific reviews and science communication articles, the book addresses topics with technical accuracy and brevity. The content is introductory and provides references for further reading. Each chapter—and to an extent, each section—is self-sufficient and provides insight into the specific subject or example being discussed. The figures accompanying the text guide the discussion where necessary, such as on NMR spectra, chirality, synthesis schema, and mechanisms. The book does not have worked-out examples or homework problems. Divided into five parts and 25 chapters, it covers the latest developments in the field (as of 2017), fundamentals of biochemistry, and case studies across disciplines ranging from life science to space. Part One introduces the reader to recent research that has challenged long-held
scientific beliefs. The most notable are compounds formed by helium, which is a noble gas. Noble gases are elements that traditionally have been considered unreactive. Another example is the double helical structure found in inorganic molecules, which is seen mostly in DNA. Part Two provides a formal introduction to biochemistry. This section discusses monomers and macromolecules (amino acids and proteins, and nucleic acids and DNA), and the structure, natural and chemical synthesis, and purification techniques. For materials scientists, this develops a base to understand the content that follows. Part Three goes into detail about the use of materials and materials science concepts in biochemistry. Most chapters provide an introductory section to state the fundamentals necessary to understand the content. For instance, the chapter on chirality in space and in the brain starts with a note on chirality before discussing the findings. The discussion on mechanisms in chapters such as bioluminescence and on animalrelated topics (specifically, on survival
