Learn elsewhere,
By A Customer
This review is from: Biochemistry (Chapters 1-34) (Hardcover)
A disorganized muddle of clinical correlations, chemical mechanisms, and pathways, the text attempts to destroy an otherwise beautiful topic. It is difficult to extract the main pts and organize the information into a coherent fashion. But fortunately there are other texts, and a map showing how all the pathways converge and a table w/enzymes organized by mechanism w/cofactor, rxn info will be golden. With books like Lippincott's Reviews and Voet&Voet, youll be biochemistry's biggest fan in no time.

Jack of a few trades, master of none,
By A Customer
This review is from: Biochemistry (Chapters 1-34) (Hardcover)
As with any intro text, this book tries to reach the largest audience possible. The problem is that it has deficiencies in many areas. The initial sections on DNA are short, completely avoiding any detailed mechanisms about DNA replication or transcription, putting those with a background that is stronger in chemistry at a disadvantage. When it comes to proteins, the book seems to have no trouble giving detailed mechanisms but the mechanisms are often obscure and poorly labeled (notably in serine proteases and metal-ion catalysis) making the information more difficult for those stronger in regular biology. Perhaps the worst part is that this book, which was chosen for my professor based on its integrated web courseware, has a website that is often unresponsive and seems to only work on old versions of Netscape. Nonetheless, I still keep a copy on my bookshelf for reference since the sections on proteins (notwithstanding the diagrams) are actually pretty good. All in all, an okay text and decent reference but certainly not for someone looking to pursue a career in biochemistry, molecular biology, or medicine. If you have a choice, the new Lehninger 4th edition is way better.

Excellent Introductory Biochemistry Text,
By A Customer
This review is from: Biochemistry (Chapters 1-34) (Hardcover)
Finally, an introductory biochemistry text with a decent amount of chemistry in it! After seeing most biochemistry texts slowly turn into boring biology tomes over the past decade or more, it is heartening to see the latest edition of Stryer's Biochemistry. Jeremy Berg has done an excellent job of bringing back the chemistry into this classic text.
