Medical Biochemistry

Summary: If you find Stryer rough reading.....
Review: I needed a biochemistry book that was written in plain English, and this was it. Plenty of clinical applications are also presented. I'm a graduate student, taking a Biochemistry course with a major medical school. Stryer is the recommended book, and I do read my assigned chapters. But THIS is the book I go to to flesh out the confusing bits and pieces.. And it does so without the requirement of a previous degree in chemistry.

Summary: Lacking in detail
Review: This book leaves out too much. Many of the reactions leave out structures making them hard to follow and learn. Stryer is much better. Or, if you need something more simple use Champe and Harvey's Biochemistry. It is published by Lippincott.

Review: This book was the required book for my Medical Biochemistry class. Which was quite strange because none of the professors lectured from it, choosing instead Lehninger or Harper's. This book was so lacking in actual biochemistry that it was essentially useless for adequately covering the course material. I will admit that it does a pretty good job of covering clinical correlations, it has a lot of pretty charts, tables, figures, and pictures in multiple colors but it does not cover the material adequately. Do yourself a big favor and go with Lehninger or Harper's instead.
