Support in Achieve

Lehninger’s Principles of Biochemistry is now available in the Achieve platform.  Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, including assets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study and assessment. The pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding biochemistry content provides an unrivaled learning experience.

Features of Achieve include:

• A design guided by learning science research. Co-designed through extensive collaboration and testing by both students and faculty including two levels of Institutional Review Board approval for every study of Achieve
• An interactive e-book with embedded multimedia and features for highlighting, note-taking and accessibility support
• A flexible suite of resources to support learning core concepts, visualization, problem-solving, and assessment.
• A detailed gradebook with insights for just-in-time teaching and reporting on student and full class achievement by learning objective.
• Easy integration and gradebook sync with iClicker classroom engagement solutions.　
  Simple integration with your campus LMS and availability through Inclusive Access programs.

New Media Features

The Lehninger 8e digital program builds on the focus on principles, with resources ideal for in-person lecture-based to fully online courses.

• All end-of-chapter questions are available as online assessments in Achieve with hints, targeted feedback, and detailed solutions.
• Skills You Need activities support students with review and practice of prerequisite skills and concepts from chemistry, biology, and math  for each biochemistry chapter.
• Instructor Activity Guides give you everything you need to plan and implement activities including interactive media, Clicker questions, and pre- and post-class assessments.
• Interactive Molecular Figures allow students to view and interact with textbook illustrations of protein structures online in interactive 3-D models for a better understanding of their three-dimensional structures.
• Updated and expanded instructor resources and tools.

Additional Media Features in Achieve:

• Interactive Metabolic Map allows students to navigate and zoom between overviews and detailed views of the most commonly taught metabolic pathways. Embedded Tours take students through the pathways step-by-step, helping them to both visualize concepts in isolation and understand how concepts are connected.  By examining the pathways in this way, students are better equipped to understand the meaning of those connections.  Assessment questions help students solidify their understanding and provide more structure to their learning.  *Metabolic Pathways include: glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, the pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid synthesis, the urea cycle, and β oxidation.
• LearningCurve Adaptive Quizzing motivates reading and keeps students on pace with study with a fun game-like activity to quiz retention and understanding of concepts.
• Case Studies introduce students to a biochemical mystery and allows them to determine what investigations will solve it. Accompanying assessments ensure that students have fully completed and understood the case study, showing that they have applied their knowledge of the concepts.
  Topics include:
• A Likely Story: Enzyme Inhibition
• An Unexplained Death: Carbohydrate Metabolism
• A Day at the Beach: Lipid Metabolism
• Runner's Experiment: Integration of Metabolism
• NEW! pH Peril: pH and Amino Acid Structure
• Profound Relevance: Hemoglobin Regulation (Bohr Effect)
• Observation Over Intuition: Thermodynamics of Protein Folding
• Animated Mechanisms designed to enhance lecture or student study and help with visualization
• Animated Techniques are short animations of laboraatory techniques. Designed to provide students with an overview of protocol, these animations give students a conceptual understanding of what is happening at the chemical level.
• Problem Solving Video with diagrams, graphs and narration these videos walk students through problems on difficult topics helping them understand the right approach to the solution.

HallmarkText Features
Chemical Logic:

• Chemical Logic discusses the common biochemical reaction types that underlie all metabolic reactions, helping students to connect organic chemistry with biochemistry.
• Chemical Logic Figures highlight the conversation of mechanisms and illustrate patterns that make learning pathways easier. (Provided for each of the central metabolic pathways)

Focus on Visualization:

• Clear Art includes molecular structures created specifically for Lehninger to keep consistency with color and shape schemes.
• Understandable Figures include numbers with annotated steps to explain complex processes.
• Mechanism Figures features step-by-step descriptions to help students understand the reaction process.
• Summary Figures help students keep the big picture in mind while learning the specific

Emphasis on Problem Solving:

• In-text Worked Examples take students through particular difficult equations to improve their quantitative problem-solving skills.
• Data Analysis Problems (one at the end of each chapter), contributed by Brian White of the University of Massachusetts–Boston, encourage students to synthesize what they have learned and apply their knowledge to the interpretation of data from the literature.
• More than 600 end-of-chapter problems (all available in Achieve) give students further opportunity to practice what they have learned.

Tools for Understanding:

• Key Conventions include clear statements of many assumptions and conventions that students are
• Special Themes--Metabolic Integration, Obesity, and Diabetes, Evolution
• Medical Insights and Applications-Icons used throughout the book denote material of special medical interest and updated to reflect the most current content.
