 Great introduction to biochemistry January 5, 2009
This was the first biochemistry book that I ever read and I was very pleased with the way it presents the material as well as the order of topics covered. It covers all the essential topics needed for a one year introductory course in biochemistry and it explains the topics in a very clear and precise manner. I have read other biochemistry textbooks and this is still my favorite. One thing I really enjoyed is how it relates the material to the real world (i.e. medicine, disease, etc) as well as providing brief biographies on some major contributors to the field and how they came to their discoveries.
Great book, after you read this if you are looking for even more info on biochem I recommend you check out Voet&Voet or Berg/Stryer/Tymoczko.
Wonderful book and teachers December 16, 2008
This book is a great book to introduce students to biochemistry. It covers the ideas and topics fairly in depth and even delves a little bit into the history behind the concepts. A great resource for any aspiring science student/researcher are the Data Analysis problems at the end of each chapter, taking a student through an actual experiment relevant to the chapter and teaching you about making the correct conclusions, the set up of the experiment, etc. I have the privilege of having both of these authors as the teachers for my biochemistry class and also have had Dave Nelson as a teacher in another class; they both have an amazing understand of science and it is well portrayed in this book.
 Okay book November 18, 2008
Although I do believe the book delivers in covering the topics, there are better books out there. I still believe the "Voet and Voet" biochemistry is the best, most thorough book out there. This book, the one being rated, leaves out some in depth details. Not to mention that this book is only about 2/3 as thick the Voet one, given all dimension are the same, except the thickness. I would have liked to have had the Voet as the assigned text book for my class.

 Great book September 24, 2008
This was a great book, however, now that I have been using it a lot, some of the pages are just falling out of the book. The binding isn't great. But, looks brand new, works great for my class.
Good reference for non-chemists June 15, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a physics graduate student interested in biophysics research, I found this text an invaluable resource. I had intro chemistry as an undergrad and AP bio in high school, but no organic chemistry or any other background. This text contained a clear introduction to biochemistry and described a lot of the techniques I was reading about in scientific papers in language that a non-chemist could understand. I still refer back to it frequently.
