Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations

Rating:
Summary: Excellent, thorough, definitive biochemistry textbook
Review: This book has a wealth of information that will thoroughly educate you not only about biochemistry, but about practical clinical correlations springing directly from the biochemistry. Along with beautiful illustrations and a comprehensive index, the text is clearly written by experts from each field. Dr. Devlin has hit a major-league home run with this bright new work.

Summary: Fantastic Book!
Review: This book is a must for anyone studying medical biochemistry, especially for the nutritionally-oriented physician. It is indeed very detailed, but the clinical correlations boxes really help tie the information together and make it very applicable in a clinical nutrition setting.

Rating:
Summary: ANALYTICAL AND INTERPRETATIVE
Review: This is a very comprehensive biochemistry textbook: well-written and well-organized. It maintained both analytical and interpretative approach in most of its chapters. Its clinical applications were evident in the way it handled nucleic acids, nucleotides, bioenergetics, immunochemistry, enzymology, and gene replications. Each metabolic pathway it discussed is well-detailed, and is supported with illustrative charts.
The only thing this book demands from its reader is good Organic Chemistry foundation. It is a very good text, although that its retail price is clearly on the high side.

Summary: Great biochemistry book
Review: Thomas Devlin makes a great edition of this book. I do think it is worth to read it because it offers a close relationship among biochemistry issues with clinical problems that are more commonly seen as a doctor
