Summary: The MCAT Biochemistry Review: 2023-2024, edited by Alexander Stone Macnow, provides a comprehensive overview of biochemistry fundamentals essential for the MCAT. It covers amino acids, enzyme activity, nonenzymatic protein functions, carbohydrate and lipid structures, DNA and biotechnology, RNA and gene regulation, biological membranes, metabolic pathways including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, lipid and amino acid metabolism, and bioenergetics. Each chapter emphasizes key concepts relevant to cellular function, metabolic control, and genetic information pathways, integrating biochemical knowledge vital for medical studies. The review includes practice problems, a glossary, and illustrations to support learning and retention.
