 - provides a good starting point for medical biochemistryThis book provides a good starting point for medical biochemistry courses. It is a useful text when combined with a more advanced biochemistry book. Rating: - good!This was a very good book for coursework, especially since the syllabus from BOD wasn't that good. For the boards, I just skimmed this book, particularly paying attention to the end of chapter summaries...I read through first aid biochem, and any topic I felt was hard to grasp i would re-read it in lippincotts. recommend this for boards when studying pathways... rememeber only study and read about pathways that are represented in first aid...and pay attention to rate limiting reactions!!! Rating: - LWW Illustrated BiochemAn excellent book for coursework in both undergrad and first year medschool, plus the tie-in with LWW Illus. Pharm. is a great duet. Our first year biochem was horribly taught, this book helped immensely, and look forward to using it for quick reference review in year 2 and Board study. Rating: - GREAT reviewI am now a believer. I was skeptical about purchasing the review series, but I used it to study for comps, and I was amazed at how easy I was able to get through the material. The summaries are exceptional and as a biochemist, it served as wonderful starting point, pointing out critical processes- and giving a "big picture" framework-- which made learning the details far easier. I highly recommend the text. Rating:  - The key to smooth sailing in medical biochemistryWill you learn biochemistry with just this book? No. Will it save you hours of wasted effort trying to organize the different metabolic pathways and let you spend that time having a life during your first year? Heck yeah. I wouldn't use it for board review (too much information) but I would call you a fool for taking biochemistry for the first time without this saving grace. In association with Amazon.com | |
