Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Aimed at first/second year courses in biochemistry particularly those with a chemical bias, this text is authoritative, comprehensive and reflects current research in biochemistry--especially the advances in molecular and protein structure. There is increased emphasis on Human Disease and more extensive use of molecular techniques. It includes extensive molecular biology material and presents biochemistry from a chemist's perspective. As with the previous edition an annual update Supplement will be published to accompany the text, keeping it as up-to-date as possible. A Solutions Manual is available to accompany this text.
Contents: Introduction and Background: Life; Aqueous Solutions; Thermodynamic Principles: A Review; Biomolecules: Amino Acids; Techniques of Protein Purification; Covalent Structures of Proteins; Three-Dimensional Structures of Proteins; Protein Folding, Dynamics, and Structural Evolution; Haemoglobin: Protein Function in Microcosm; Sugars and Polysaccharides; Lipids and Membranes; Mechanisms of Enzyme Action: Introduction to Enzymes; Rates of Enzymatic Reactions; Enzymatic Catalysis; Metabolism: Introduction to Metabolism; Glycolysis; Glycogen Metabolism; Transport Through Membranes; Citric Acid Cycle; Electron Transport and Oxidative Phosphorylation; Other Pathways of Carbohydrate Metabolism; Photosynthesis; Lipid Metabolism; Amino Acid Metabolism; Energy Metabolism: Integration and Organ Specialisation; Nucleotide Metabolism; The Expression and Transmission of Genetic Information: DNA: the Vehicle of Inheritance; Nucleic Acid Structures and Manipulation; Transcription; Translation; DNA Replication, Repair and Recombination; Viruses: Paradigms for Cellular Functions; Eukaryotic Gene Expression; Molecular Physiology. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
The "Gold Standard" in Biochemistry text books, Biochemistry 4e, is a modern classic that has been thoroughly revised. Don and Judy Voet explain biochemical concepts while offering a unified presentation of life and its variation through evolution. Incorporates both classical and current research to illustrate the historical source of much of our biochemical knowledge.

Format:Hardcover
There are a variety of Biochemistry books on the market, and Stryer and Voet are certainly the front runners. Stryer is a smaller volume with a less chemical focus, whereas the Voets often get very deep into their subject. So, if Biochemistry is something you have to do as part of a course, you're likely to find Stryer clearer and quicker to learn from: but if like me you love Biochem, you'll love Donald and Judith! It's a fantastic book, in my opinion the best, and certainly an argument settler. Let's hope for a new edition soon.

Format:Hardcover
This book turned out to be the most used textbook of my undergraduate career. I found it to be informative without being too dry! The diagrams are used to great effect and the chapter on protein folding is superb. This is a great buy for biochemists or undergraduates in chemistry who choose to study some biochem modules etc.

Format:Hardcover
I bought this book for my undergrad course in biochem and was overwhelmed that, while it is insanely thorough, it is also easy for even beginners to understand. Now that I'm in a chemistry grad program, I consult this book almost every day for background info on just about any major research topic or issue you could think of. Chapters on enzymology, protein structure/function/purification, and metabolism are especially well-written and easy to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone considering post-bacculaureate study in life science.

Honestly can't recommend this book enough. Much better than that Stryer rubbish that's recommended to every student - more detailed but not overwhelming. Read more

Good book to have at your side!
At the beginning of my degree, we were told to buy either this or Biochemistry by Stryer.. we chose this one simply as it was slightly cheaper and had more pages! Read more

Better than Stryer
Much easier to understand and more structured in approach. I am glad I bought this book as well as the standard text of Stryer which I found to be long winded and hard work. Read more
