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

Good content but so, so, so dreadfully dry.

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!

Finally done with this one

I think this book for who want to know the Basic of biochemistry,and it does not deep on this subject.
i advice you read it.

More summer reading. I could only find the third edition in the library unfortunately, but it will do while my other books come.

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.

The order of the book is very convenient to learn first the basic concepts then to apply these concepts to understand more confusing topics.I've been taking biochem. courses for two semesters and i've learned general mechanisms and regulation of the basic metabolic pathways very well from this book.However,it lacks deep knowledge about genetic effects caused to alter the mechanisms and enzyme regulations,Some explanations are just based on the chemistry of the molecules,metabolites etc but not based on the biologic influences or inheritance of the diseases related to those metabolic pathways

for information

תכלס זה כתוב טוב ומעניין ומסביר הרבה יותר טוב מהמרצה שלי אבל סבלתי אז 3 כוכבים והחלטתי שקראתי מספיק מזה בשביל להכניס את זה ליעד קריאה.

Still more than years after graduation a book that I use.
Well written, logical and informatie

biochemistry is essential for everyone
