 Good, but poor proofreading June 21, 2007

it states that pH>7 is acidic and pH<7 is basic in chapter two. This is obviously wrong and was missed in the editing. There are also small errors throughout the book but as whole it delivers the information in a concise form. This is more of a review book though, so a textbook on biochemistry will be needed to fully understand what is going on. The most impressive parts of this book have to be little pieces of information that helps to understand "why", which are usually not directly addressed in biochem text books. The example that comes to mind is the solvent levelling effect. I have only seen it glanced over in biochemistry textbooks, but it is important and helps reinforce acid/base concepts.

When I wanted to start reading Lenninger Priciple's of Biochemistry it felt like a bucket of cold water... there were many things that I could not understand; hence, I went for something simple and concise, something that gives me enough background (in a short amount of time) info to somehow figure out what Lenninger tried to explain. For that purpose, this book is very good. In fact, I am reading it again in some chemistry class that I have because the class is boring. However, do not expect to be a master biochemist after you read this book, this is just an INTRODUCTION and OUTLINE of the main ideas... only the concepts that are used most often appear! Another feature that I like is that it is pocket size, meaning that I can carry it around easily!

Although obvious, the bad part of the download version is that you have to be attached to a computer =(
