Voet, Voet and Pratt's Fundamentals of Biochemistry, 5e addresses the enormous advances in biochemistry, particularly in the areas of structural biology and Bioinformatics, by providing a solid biochemical foundation that is rooted in chemistry to prepare students for the scientific challenges of the future. While continuing in its tradition of presenting complete and balanced coverage that is clearly written and relevant to human health and disease, Fundamentals of Biochemistry, 5e includes new pedagogy and enhanced visuals that provide a pathway for student learning.
The authors are careful to present new information such that it links it to existing content, ever mindful that students assimilate new information only in the proper context. The enriched assessment content in WileyPLUS Learning Space offers students the opportunity to gauge their conceptual understanding and receive immediate feedback to address misconceptions.
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.
