Reviews

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Useful book overall. I was interested in learning more about individual amino acids and not much has been written in book form for the general public. I bought this used on Amazon and when I began reading it became skeptical as it is 21 years old referencing papers that are 10-30 years behind that. But a lot of it still stands up or has been researched further.
