There are three new chapters on Ageing, Nutrition and Oxygen and Life, bringing the book up to date in these important areas of development.

Customer Reviews

If you find Stryer rough reading.....

I needed a biochemistry book that was written in plain English, and this was it. Plenty of clinical applications are also presented. I'm a graduate student, taking a Biochemistry course with a major medical school. Stryer is the recommended book, and I do read my assigned chapters. But THIS is the book I go to to flesh out the confusing bits and pieces.. And it does so without the requirement of a previous degree in chemistry.
