BIMB10: Biology and Chemistry of the Cell (30 hp)
Updated 2025-05-12
The course literature we will mainly refer to in the cell biology part of the course is the 7th edition of Molecular Biology of the Cell (written by Alberts, Johnson, Lewis, Morgan, Raff, Roberts & Walter, published by Garland Science, 2022). It is available in several print versions either paperback or hardcover, including an International Student Edition (green cover) that seems to be the cheapest, but can also be bought as an affordable e-book if you prefer that. The ISBN numbers to the printed book versions are 9780393884852 (international student edition, green cover) and 9780393427080 (regular American version, purple cover).
As a complement we can recommend the 10th edition of Biochemistry (written by Berg, Gatto, Hines, Tymoczko & Stryer, publiched by Macmillan, 2023), ISBN 9781319498504. The 9th edition will work equally fine. This book will increase the understanding of chemistry in cell biology and will also be useful in courses later in the program.
The literature for the chemistry part of the course is:
Organic Chemistry with Biological Emphasis, 2016 ed, vol 1 och 2, written by Tim Soderberg. These books can be downloaded free of charge from the link below:
and
Chemistry3, 4th edition (written by Burrows, Holman, Parson, Pilling and Price, 2021) and published by Oxford University press. ISBN: 9780198829980
