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!

Frequently asked questions

How do I cancel my subscription?
Simply head over to the account section in settings and click on “Cancel Subscription” - it’s as simple as that. After you cancel, your membership will stay active for the remainder of the time you’ve paid for. Learn more here.
Can/how do I download books?
At the moment all of our mobile-responsive ePub books are available to download via the app. Most of our PDFs are also available to download and we're working on making the final remaining ones downloadable now. Learn more here.
What is the difference between the pricing plans?
Both plans give you full access to the library and all of Perlego’s features. The only differences are the price and subscription period: With the annual plan you’ll save around 30% compared to 12 months on the monthly plan.
What is Perlego?
We are an online textbook subscription service, where you can get access to an entire online library for less than the price of a single book per month. With over 1 million books across 1000+ topics, we’ve got you covered! Learn more here.
Do you support text-to-speech?
Look out for the read-aloud symbol on your next book to see if you can listen to it. The read-aloud tool reads text aloud for you, highlighting the text as it is being read. You can pause it, speed it up and slow it down. Learn more here.

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 
below.
