From Amazon.co.uk
Aimed at first/second year courses in biochemistry particularly those with a chemical bias, this text is authoritative, comprehensive and reflects current research in biochemistry--especially the advances in molecular and protein structure. There is increased emphasis on Human Disease and more extensive use of molecular techniques. It includes extensive molecular biology material and presents biochemistry from a chemist's perspective. As with the previous edition an annual update Supplement will be published to accompany the text, keeping it as up-to-date as possible. A Solutions Manual is available to accompany this text. Contents: Introduction and Background: Life; Aqueous Solutions; Thermodynamic Principles: A Review; Biomolecules: Amino Acids; Techniques of Protein Purification; Covalent Structures of Proteins; Three-Dimensional Structures of Proteins; Protein Folding, Dynamics, and Structural Evolution; Haemoglobin: Protein Function in Microcosm; Sugars and Polysaccharides; Lipids and Membranes; Mechanisms of Enzyme Action: Introduction to Enzymes; Rates of Enzymatic Reactions; Enzymatic Catalysis; Metabolism: Introduction to Metabolism; Glycolysis; Glycogen Metabolism; Transport Through Membranes; Citric Acid Cycle; Electron Transport and Oxidative Phosphorylation; Other Pathways of Carbohydrate Metabolism; Photosynthesis; Lipid Metabolism; Amino Acid Metabolism; Energy Metabolism: Integration and Organ Specialisation; Nucleotide Metabolism; The Expression and Transmission of Genetic Information: DNA: the Vehicle of Inheritance; Nucleic Acid Structures and Manipulation; Transcription; Translation; DNA Replication, Repair and Recombination; Viruses: Paradigms for Cellular Functions; Eukaryotic Gene Expression; Molecular Physiology.

A textbook you will actually read! July 11, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book turned out to be the most used textbook of my undergraduate career. I found it to be informative without being too dry! The diagrams are used to great effect and the chapter on protein folding is superb. This is a great buy for biochemists or undergraduates in chemistry who choose to study some biochem modules etc.
an indispensable biochemistry resource May 18, 2002

I bought this book for my undergrad course in biochem and was overwhelmed that, while it is insanely thorough, it is also easy for even beginners to understand. Now that I'm in a chemistry grad program, I consult this book almost every day for background info on just about any major research topic or issue you could think of. Chapters on enzymology, protein structure/function/purification, and metabolism are especially well-written and easy to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone considering post-bacculaureate study in life science.
Biochemistry for real! February 20, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you want to learn and know Biochemistry for real, this is the book. Everything, I mean everything, is explained with detail. From proteins to metabolic pathways and molecular genetics. The explanations provide insight into the experimental procedures used to gain knowledge about phenomena so you don't see things falling from the sky.
But this is a long and DETAILED book and if you're on the run, don't buy it. It will take your time.
In a word: Excellent!
Good book to have at your side! December 14, 2001

At the beginning of my degree, we were told to buy either this or Biochemistry by Stryer.. we chose this one simply as it was slightly cheaper and had more pages! However, as we got to second and third years nobody uses Stryer and everyone uses this, and this book really has everything you need to know for your Biochemistry degree.. although I would recommend complementing it with a Molecular Biology textbook too!
Better than Stryer October 11, 1999

Much easier to understand and more structured in approach. I am glad I bought this book as well as the standard text of Stryer which I found to be long winded and hard work. This is the kind of text you can just read for the hell of it. By far the best Biochem text you can get and I did straight Biochem degree.
