This guide includes 25 chapters divided into four parts : Structure and
function of biomolecule ( Part Ⅰ), Metabolism and regulation ( Part Ⅱ),
Information pathways ( Part Ⅲ) and Molecular medicine ( Part Ⅳ).
There are three portions in each chapter: Examination syllabus, Major
points and Practices. Firstly the examination syllabus for MLE (Medical
Licensing Examination) is provided. Then the major points are connected
in a conceptual framework by making mind maps, and using words, figures
and tables refined.Finally, multiple choice questions (A1, A2, B1,
X-type) and some clinical case problems are supplied for practice and
testing the learning effect.
This book is suitable for
undergraduate students in medical schools ( especially Bachelor of
Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery, MBBS) to review major concepts and
information while also preparing for course exams, MLE, and the
postgraduate entrance exam. This book can also be used as a teaching
reference bookfor biochemistry teachers as well as a reference book of
continuing education for relevant professionals.
