Description
The authors and publisher are pleased to present the twenty-seventh edition of Harper’s Illustrated Biochemistry. First published as Review of Physiological Chemistry in 1939 and revised in 1944, it quickly gained a wide readership. In 1951, the third edition appeared with Harold A. Harper, University of California at San Francisco, as author. Dr. Harper remained the sole author until the ninth edition and co-authored eight subsequent editions. Peter Mayes and Victor Rodwell joined as authors in the tenth edition, Daryl Granner in the twentieth, and Rob Murray in the twenty-first edition. We now bid a fond and grateful farewell to our long-time colleague Peter Mayes, who retired from active authorship after the previous edition. Asked by Harold Harper to review portions of the ninth edition, Peter joined as an author for the tenth through twenty-sixth editions. Peter contributed a unique ability to design diagrams that integrate all key aspects of a metabolic pathway:: the enzymes, intermediates, and the mechanisms that guide and regulate metabolic flow. Such skills, his concise and informative prose, and his collegial relationships with the other authors contributed significantly to the continued success of this text. He will be greatly missed by his fellow authors and by readers.
The ever-increasing complexity of biochemical knowledge has led to the addition of several co-authors in recent editions. Peter Mayes’ responsibilities now pass to his former collaborators, David Bender and Kathleen Botham, continuing the long-standing trans-Atlantic ties in the authorship of this text. P. Anthony Weil, a co-author with Daryl Granner in the previous edition, continues his invaluable input. Additional co-authors for this and prior editions include Fred Keeley and Margaret Rand with Rob Murray and Peter Kennelly with Victor Rodwell. The senior authors are grateful to their new colleagues for bringing their expertise and fresh perspectives to the text.
