WONDERFUL BUY :)

It was here really quick and exactly as the orginal book except easier to carry around. GREAT PRODUCT>

Probably the best introductory text for Biochemistry. No Stereoviews?

This is one of the most readable texts for biochemistry on the market. It would be most useful for undergraduates and medical students. It is almost useless for graduate students in the biological sciences because it doesn't talk enough about experimental strategies. The older version of this text was much cooler because it has stereoviews. This feature makes the book stand out because the stereoviews are awesome. Whose idea was it to remove them??? This would make a good first book in biochemistry, but for upper level students I would recommend Stryer.

Principles of Biochemistry--Horton

Just the book I needed! Has lots of colorful pictures which is helpful with all those twisty-turny proteins and amino acids!

A great introductory biochemistry text!

Filled to the brim with useful, concise information, and helpful explanations. It also has very complete coverage of a broad variety of concepts and fields of study of biochemistry. While it can at times get bogged down in the details, it was extremely helpful to me during my biochemistry class, and inspired in me a desire to continue educating myself in the field. I am keeping this book rather than selling it, because I'm certain it will be of great use to me in my further studies in biology and medicine.
