[Dr. George H. Elder · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extrememly well organized and well illustrated, this book covers the basics very well. Once again, I used it a great deal for my doctoral work, but I imagine the text is out of date by now. Still, a lot of what is detailed is as valuable now as it was 20 years ago. As I recall, there was a lot of evolutionary biochem detailed. I found that more could have done by way of neurobiology, but that is a specialty field that cannot be covered in great depth in a text like this. If the book has been updated over the years, it is a must have. If not, it is still a very valuable resource. I think I still have it!

I agree - this is a wonderful, comprehensive book.
Also, it has very nice pictures - which are a must.

I have heard that there are other Biochem books out there, but why would you want one?

Stryer is better.

[Danial · Rating 5 out of 5]

Comprehensive, well-written, well-illustrated. Everything was excellent, the only problem is the reader may get lost in the details so easily.

Great book. This was my favorite BioChem book. It was so useful in grad school when I book my structure and function class. Great diagrams.. I unfortunatly left it in my lab when I left grad school. AGHHHH!!

I'm currently reading this book in order to fulfill my understanding on the biochemistry subject. For preparing my exam, you know... =)

This edition is a little too old for my class, but is free from the library.

I'm adding textbooks to goodreads. I have to read them, don't I.

Empieza bien, flojea en los capítulos intermedios pero el final mola mucho. Muy recomendable.

Not as health-centric as some other biochem books
