Tasks and practical exercises in biochemistry. A Guide for Medical Students
Second revised and enlarged edition.
The edited and updated edition complies with the uniform state requirements for teaching biochemistry in medical universities. The manual contains tasks, test questions, clinical case studies with a pathobiochemical focus and questions on the thematic content of the basic lecture course in biochemistry at the Medical University - Varna. It is intended for work during the seminars and practical classes of medical students.
