Overview With Good Descriptions, April 13, 2006

This book is a good intro to biochemistry and I used it as a jumping off point for some studies in protenomics and genetic studies.

The nature of the text assumes a solid foundation in about 2nd year biochemistry with core studies in concepts, but there are is a lot of other interesting side bars and concepts (the section on DNA Probes being especially good).

I do not have a 2nd year Biochem background, but where I was lost I was able to bone up and then attack the text in a relatively easy manner. For hardcore students and upper level biochem professionals it may only serve as an overview. For those with lower needs it can still help in many ways and the stylistic presentation helps in understanding quickly with a minimum of effort.
