With new co-authors Jeremy Berg and John Tymoczko, "Biochemistry" 5th edition has expanded integration of evolution, more chemical and structural insights, and a web based media component created simultaneously with the text. Improved pedagogy includes: chapter opening outlines, expanded end of chapter problem sets, new types of problems, and special icons highlighting evolutionary coverage, clinically relevant material, or related media content on the Web. "Biochemistry" also becomes the first text to fully reflect the revolution that has taken place in biomedical science in the past ten years, culminating in the human genome project. A key focus of the new edition is the unifying features of protein structure and function that have been revealed by the incredible progress in gene sequencing. All molecular diagrams have been recreated by Jeremy Berg for clearer and more consistent presentations of structure throughout, with the art programme being increased by nearly 20 per cent over the previous edition. The new author team has also worked to maintain the book's defining feature: the characteristic clarity.

Review
'A superby presented book - in keeping with the high standard of the previous editions.' -- R. E. Glass - Nottingham University
'An excellent textbook which combines basic principles of biochemistry with clinical situations and pathophysiology.' -- J. M. Land - Clinical National Hospital London
'Another fantastic book.' -- Gunnar Hansson - Gothenburg University
'I really like the chemical and structural approach to describing the changes in the molecules and the energetics involved.' -- Paul Craig, Rochester Institute of Technology
'Much improved - good cover of genetics and metabolism.' -- A. Nicolaou - Bradford University
'Nice updates, nice web resource. The organisation of some topics has improved (i.e. Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis in the same chapter).' -- Dr Lorenzo Frigerio, University of Warwick
'The integration of evolution makes it the most exciting and revolutionary biochemistry text to appear since 1970.' -- James F. Koerner, University of Minnesota

This book provides detailed information on all subjects covered by the biochemistry modules in my degree. The layout is systematic, and the diagrams are very useful. I would recommend this to any student looking for a comprehensive biochemistry text to last throughout their degree.

As a first year Biochemistry student at the University of Warwick I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone who is taking a degree in Biology/Biochemistry/Microbiology. At Warwick our course follows the content of the book and gives us the recommended reading pages for each topic.
If you have studied A-level Biology I think you will find this book very easy to follow and easy on the eye.
It assumes only knowlege of biochemistry up to A-level standard and then slowly builds to give a very thorough level of understanding.

I am a medical student in Italy. As far as I know, almost everyone in my University use Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, as it said to be the most comprehensive.
I find it just too stuffed with "words", a feature which puts off students who really want to learn this fantastic subject.
On the contrary, Stryer's Biochemistry is systematic and very well structured. The explanations are clear and concise.
As to Devlin's biochemistry, it must be said that it offers many more medical insights than the others, but it seems to me to lack clear and easy-to-study explanations upon more "traditional" concepts: glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation and so on.

Literally arrived the next day. Thought it would take at least a good week. Good price, good condition, good times.
Thanks!
