Βιοχημεία

by Jeremy M. Berg, John L. Tymoczko, Lubert L. Stryer

Η πρώτη αμερικανική έκδοση αυτού του συγγράμματος κυκλοφόρησε με τον τίτλο Biochemistry το 1975. Στα χρόνια που ακολούθησαν, η "Βιοχημεία του Stryer", όπως έγινε ευρύτερα γνωστή, άλλαξε ριζικά τον τρόπο διδασκαλίας του συγκεκριμένου επιστημονικού πεδίου στον αγγλόφωνο κόσμο.

Το ίδιο συνέβη και στην Ελλάδα όταν εμφανίστηκε η πρώτη έκδοση στα ελληνικά, η οποία κυκλοφόρησε σε δύο τόμους το 1994 και το 1995, και αποτελούσε μετάφραση της τρίτης αμερικανικής.

Επί τέσσερις συναπτές δεκαετίες, τα θεμελιώδη χαρακτηριστικά των αλλεπάλληλων εκδόσεων του συγγράμματος, στα αγγλικά και τα ελληνικά, παρέμειναν αναλλοίωτα: άριστη διάρθρωση της ύλης, σαφήνεια στην έκφραση, πλούσια εικονογράφηση, περιγραφή των πιο πρόσφατων ερευνητικών τεχνικών και της προόδου στη θεωρητική έρευνα, σύνδεση των βιοχημικών φαινομένων και διαδικασιών με τη θεωρία της εξέλιξης, τη φυσιολογία και την ιατρική.

Τα ίδια ακριβώς γνωρίσματα χαρακτηρίζουν και την τελευταία ελληνική έκδοση που κρατάτε στα χέρια σας, η οποία είναι μετάφραση της όγδοης (και πιο πρόσφατης) αμερικανικής.

Reviews

[Ashley Hart]

One of the best Biochemistry books that I have read including classroom assigned literature and self-discovered books. The layout and content of this book is very efficient and enjoyable to both newbies to the science genre and life long scientists. The authors do a great job of conveying lifetimes of scientific information to the masses in both an educational and stimulating approach. The information is very thorough and up-to-date in the field of Biochemistry. Reading this book with such captivating material in this engaging format was definitely a memorable experience in my education.

[Maia Lanfranco]

This book is a must for any students following an undergraduate course which includes study units in biochemistry. It presents the various biochemical concepts and processes very clearly, making them much easier to understand by the reader. Convenient summaries at the back of each chapter make it easier to revise a chapter quickly while still highlighting all of the important points in that particular chapter. A very helpful book which will definitely be a great aid to me during my university years and beyond. :)

Not as much fun as Lehninger's. I used it primarily for the review questions rather than read it from cover to cover.

[Simeon Lazarus Hubbard]

One of the most dependable Biochemistry books out there. Only rivalled by Voet.

[Casualdejekyll]

co prawda koniec końców to były coś ze trzy różne biochemie, każda przeczytana w 75%

mam nadzieję że nie wrócę do żadnej z nich we wrześniu

[Tamara]

Finally done with this one

[anastasia]

may God bless the man who shall not be named i will never ever ever see you again and i could not be happier! extra thanks to stryer for this amazing book(fyi the metabolism chapter is bad you really should work on it) also i will not give all credits to this book for passing biochem because FFUL pull trough com aquela sebenta! extra thanks to ju that had to memorize all the enzymes names which btw very fucked up🥳🫶🏻

[Emilia Malecka]

Ehhh tego jest za dużo

[Zoe]

Verbose and dense, but got the job done.

[Amy]

Didn’t read, wouldn’t have liked it anyway

[Labi]

Great book for learning Biochemistry!🤩

[Anum]

This book helped me a lot through my course in Biochemistry. There was only one issue with this book! It was too heavy to carry around! LOL

Otherwise, it was very well organised and quite well-written with all the pictures and illustrations to help with the understanding of some basic concepts in biochemistry. :)

[Agnes]

Great book!
I greatly appreciated the paragraphs that were given titles that reflected the topic in that paragraph. It helped to study: one could just read the title and consider re-studying the item or checking it off as "OK, I know that". My edition had an error in the DNA polymerases, which transpired during my exam. I suppose (hope) my professor passed it on.

[Karina]

The best Biochem Book out there!

[Christine Ricci]

It's pretty easy to understand, but sometimes it glosses over topics that it shouldn't.

[Natalia]

The book was my Bible a few years ago ;)

[Bharat Bhardwaj]

One of the best book for any life science student, easy language and explanation.

[Hannah Olson]

A bit dense at times definitely need caffeine to make it through a chapter. Wouldn’t recommend for a pleasure read. Could use better transitions.

[Sara]

It feels like the authors tried way too hard to make the writing programmatic, and with an authoritative tone. It's so choppy, and has no semblance of a human voice. Just because something seems elegant doesn't mean it's good. Perhaps folks who rated this highly don't do the practice problems? Also, there are dictionaries and encyclopedias of biochemistry for a reason. This shouldn't come off as neither a dictionary nor an encyclopedia.

[Tyler]

The newer online editions of this book are just money grabs and full of typos. MacMillan's online HW and test banks that the newer editions provide just allow for lazier and lazier professors--nearly immoral atp. This physical copy was good and cheap, content is well covered.

[Edma]

I liked this book, because it had explained the concepts in a simple and attractive way. Was a good help for some crucial knowledge I had to refresh.

[Dutchess Gi]

Great study book, with good questions to help you learn.
No answers to check yours unfortunately.

[Syed Furkhan]

biochemistry is essential for everyone

[Rafał Grochala]

Solid refresher. Exactly what you would expect from an 1000+ pages textbook.

[Blessing Bulasigoba]

its a very good book

[Danielle]

stressful :(

[Regulus☪️Black♏]

Ahh kocham sesje T.T

[dae]

I passed biochem :)

[bookfan100]

best biochem textbook of all time

[Branden]

Incredible.
