a book to use, and a book to keep Apr 30, 1999
Lehninger's book remains the best single text in biochemistry, at least in English. A fine book for undergraduates, it is also the one volume that you may keep on your shelf for years to come, and the best biochem text for those whose primary specialty is not biochemistry (e.g. medicine, p-chem, microbio). No text is ever a substitute for the journals if you work in the field, but this book gives a sense of the whole discipline that is beneficial for anyone who may become too narrowly fixed on one topic. Its clear writing is also a blessing, both for those using English as a second language, and for native speakers with some affection for their own language

It is the clearest Biochemistry book and it is a must for ev Mar 22, 1999
I found the 2e of "Principles of Biochemistry" by A. Lehninger, one of the most exciting books written in the field of Biochemistry. The book should be a treasure, especially, for undergradute students who have interest in the field. I have already adopted it as the main text book for the Biochemistry, a 300 level, course that I teach. Concepts are clearly and cleverly presented.

A book for a real biochemistry. Aug 26, 1998
This wonderful text is very well written and organized. It contains plenty of information that many other biochemistry texts do not touch on. Most of the people who have questions about biochemistry can find the answers as well as clear explanation in this text.

Pedagogical, illustrative and provokes your interest Jan 01, 1998
By fredrik@unforgettable.com
The book starts with the most basic knowledge: introduction to cell biology and thermodynamics. A lot of biochemistry is explored by covering three main areas: Structure and Catalysis, Bioenergetics and Metabolism, and Information Pathways (DNA/RNA/Protein Metabolism). It is good for beginners in biochemistry and it really describe things well. It caught my attention and my interest to move futher into the world of biochemisry. For me, the book now serves as a dicionary in biochemistry .
