Product Description
This text uses a more brief and qualitative approach to present biochemistry with chemical rigor, focusing on the structures of biomolecules, chemical mechanisms, and evolutionary relationships. It is written to impart a sense of intellectual history of biochemistry, an understanding of the tools and approaches used to solve biochemical puzzles, and a hint of the excitement that accompanies new discoveries. This edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the most recent advances in biochemistry, particularly in the areas of genomics and structural biology. A new chapter focuses on cytoskeletal and motor proteins, currently one of the most active areas of research in biochemistry.

This was a great purchase and very easy to do. It did not arrive late and it has been very helpful for my class.
Thanks
 Flimsy paper. Regret buying this book. January 18, 2010

As far as content, this book wasn't too bad. However, I feel that the Lehninger Biochemistry text is an easier read, and I also believe it does a better job of explaining the interactions between molecules, proteins, etc. For that reason I switched to that text mid-way through Biochemistry I. On the plus side, this particular textbook has a little more content in the area of bioenergetics, but other than that, I'd stick with Lehninger. The main problem I had with this binder version is that the pages tear very easily. The paper is extremely flimsy, and because of this I tore multiple pages in this binder version. If you're going to buy this edition, I strongly recommend you do not buy the binder version - especially if you plan on selling it later.
