Voet and Pratt's 4th Edition of "Principles of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level," challenges readers to better understand the chemistry behind the biological structure and reactions occurring in living systems. The latest edition continues this tradition, and additionally incorporates coverage of recent research and an expanded focus on preparing and supporting students throughout the course. WileyPLUS sold separately from text.
I hate this book. Maybe it's just because I hate biochemistry. I found certain chapters better than others. I think what makes a quality textbook is the ability for any reader to understand what the authors are saying, even if they have no education in the subject. That's where I believe they failed. Some chapters I was like hey this isn't so bad while in others I had to re-read things several times just to understand their point. We get it, you're smart.. why do authors insist on making them a puzzle to understand.
