 Okay book November 18, 2008
Although I do believe the book delivers in covering the topics, there are better books out there. I still believe the "Voet and Voet" biochemistry is the best, most thorough book out there. This book, the one being rated, leaves out some in depth details. Not to mention that this book is only about 2/3 as thick the Voet one, given all dimension are the same, except the thickness. I would have liked to have had the Voet as the assigned text book for my class.

 Great book September 24, 2008
This was a great book, however, now that I have been using it a lot, some of the pages are just falling out of the book. The binding isn't great. But, looks brand new, works great for my class.
 Good reference for non-chemists June 15, 2005

As a physics graduate student interested in biophysics research, I found this text an invaluable resource. I had intro chemistry as an undergrad and AP bio in high school, but no organic chemistry or any other background. This text contained a clear introduction to biochemistry and described a lot of the techniques I was reading about in scientific papers in language that a non-chemist could understand. I still refer back to it frequently.
Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry is simply the best one. May 10, 2004

The Lehninger Princicples of Biochemistry is the best book in biochemistry that has been written. I have use it in my biochemistry course in my first year in school medicine and thanks to this book I pass my class with one of the best notes in the group. Any other book exposes the biochemistry principles with clarity and coherence like the Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry. I can't wait for the 4th edition.
Good book for biochemistry February 15, 2004
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is complete and thorough in explaing every energy pathway (Kreb's cycle, electron transport system, glycolysis, etc.) The diagrams are helpful and explain the material with visual detail especially in this type of book. The only thing, the book is somewhat hard to understand for reading it the first time. I know biochemistry is a hard subject, but I thought it could be explained in a little easier fashion. However, other than that, the book is quite organized and a must buy for every chiropractic student taking biochemistry. I also highly recommend:
National Board of Chiropractic Part I Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers
Both these books I found very helpful for studying for the National boards. The text is a must for studying for the biochemistry part of the chiro boards.
