Thieme Test Prep for the USMLE®: Medical Biochemistry Q&A
About this book
Ensure readiness for the USMLE® or any other high-stakes exam covering biochemistry!
Thieme Test Prep for the USMLE®: Biochemistry by Joseph D. Fontes and Darla L. McCarthy fills a void in the available board preparatory materials with its focus on biochemistry. Readers will learn to recall, analyze, integrate, and apply biochemical and molecular biological knowledge to solve clinical problems.
Key Highlights
- Over 325 USMLE®-style multiple choice questions on biochemistry, classified as easy, moderate, and difficult, include detailed explanations
- Questions begin with a clinical vignette, and approximately 25% are image-based, mirroring the USMLE®-format
This essential resource will help you assess your knowledge and fully prepare you for the USMLE® Step 1 or COMLEX Level 1 exam.
Be prepared for your board exam with the Thieme Test Prep for the USMLE® series!

Hydrolysis
of
the
peptide
bond
produces
a
free
amino
group
on
one
product
and
a
free
carboxyl
group
on
the
other.
The
molecules
shown
in
choice
D
are
produced
by
hydrolysis
of
the
γ
-glutamyl
pep-
tide
bond
in
GSH.
The
products
are
glutamate
and
cysteinylglycine.
A
is
incorrect.
The
structure
shown
is
GSH
disul-
fi
de,
the
product
of
oxidation
of
GSH.
B
is
incorrect.
This
would
be
the
product
of
a
decarboxylation
reaction.
C
is
incorrect.
These
products
result
from
cleav-
age
of
an
unreactive
C–C
bond,
which
generally
does
not
occur
in
biological
systems,
and
is
not
catalyzed
by
proteases
like
GGT.
E
is
incorrect.
These
products
result
from
cleav-
age
of
an
unreactive
C–N
bond,
which
generally
does
not
occur
in
biological
systems,
and
is
not
catalyzed
by
proteases
like
GGT.
4.
Correct:
D.
GGT
cleaves
peptide
bonds,
which
link
carboxyl
and
amino
groups
of
amino
acids
to
each
other.
During
peptide
synthesis,
when
amino
acid
carboxyl
and
amino
groups
condense,
they
form
an
amide
func-
tional
group,
also
known
as
a
peptide
bond.
The
two
peptide
bonds
in
GSH
are
shown
in
red
in
the
fi
gure
given
