 Very happy October 7, 2008
This book arrived early the next week and was in good condition as stated in the advertisement. I would do business with this person again.
Principles of Biochemistry fourth edition September 28, 2008
The book was just what I was looking for at a cheap price. It was shipped right away and in good condition.
best!! August 24, 2008
If you study something were biochemistry is involved, and need this book, I think is the best book I've seen. Its deep, has beautiful images, chapters are too long and can get you a bit tired, stays a bit short in phospholipids but even though is the best I've read this book from head to toe and I can testify this book is great!!
 Lehninger Biochemistry Review May 18, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book itself was very interesting and a great introduction to biochemistry, however, the shippers are losers. They sent a hardcover, ~20 pound book in a simple envelope even though I spent the extra money for fast, safe delivery. Not only was the book not even sent until 5-6 days after the expected delivery date, the outside of the book was severely damaged when I finally got it. I am wholly dissatisfied with the way they treated me.
Very complete biochemistry textbook May 8, 2008
What I like the most about this book is that it contains almost all the information that you need to understand biochemistry, information that is not traditionally covered in biochemistry books, but that is needed as background to a complete understanding of the subject. For instance, the first chapter of this book gives background information on the biological, chemical, genetics, evolution basis of biochemistry. It explains the cell in enough detail to understand references made to the cell components later on in the textbook. Another thing I found is a detailed explanation of D and L configuration, as opposed as just saying all amino acids found in proteins are L isomers. No other book I've read explains where the L, D configuration convention came from and students usually confuse it with levorotatory and dextrorotatory, when they are different things altogether. It also has an entire chapter dedicated to water chemistry, which serves as both a review and a basis for understanding the importance of hydrogen bonding in biochemistry in later chapters.
In essence, this is a very COMPLETE book, in the sense that it covers material not found in traditional biochemistry books (ex. Berg, Stryer), but that is necessary to understand other aspects of biochemistry. If you are planning to specialize in the study of biochemistry, you definitely want this book as part of your reference collection.
