In the past decade， medical education achieved great development in Capital Medical University， China （CCMU）， serving the students coming from all parts of China and overseas. On the one hand， the growing number of foreign students at CCMU crave for English books suitable for the teaching and learning with the Chinese medical education system; on the other hand， the Chinese students are asked and eager to actively participate in the international academic exchanges nowadays. To meet the needs of both foreign and Chinese students majoring in basic and clinic medical sciences， CCMU puts forward a project to compile textbooks in English as a part of the university's developing strategy and objectives， which are "based on Beijing， embrcing the nation; leading in China and recognized around the world". Thus， the textbook of biochemistry in English was prepared by the senior instructors in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology， CCMU.
