This was the text for my undergraduate biochemistry course. It also came in handy for my graduate level Chemical Biology course.

I'm done with biochem for this semester. This book is getting cleared out until the next, probably.

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

ok, I have to admit that chemistry isn't really my favorite course but this book sucked big time! The authors tried to make a story out of facts and it just didn't work well. I've read other books about biochemistry, so I know what I'm talking about when I say this book was complicated, boring and confusing. The information which should be together is dispersed. The sentences instead of being short and consistent are more like when a person uses big words hoping to sound smart. Beating around the bush and....there! they lost me again!
The kind of book you want(have) to read as fast as possible so the suffering can come to an end.

Disclaimer: I am not a medical student, nor I have read everything in this book. I am a "General Reader".
This textbook gives tremendous insights on what proteins, DNA, RNA, enzymes, carbohydrates, lipids, fats, cholesterol, glucose, insulin, metabolism are and how they work.
Text is filled with real life examples such as alcool metabolism, insulin regulation and much more.
This text just puts all the pieces of the metabolism puzzle together.
Amazing!
