Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 6th Edition

“Easy to read with good use of simple figures and plenty of internal cross-references to other chapters or relevant pages. I was impressed with the inclusion of some very up to date findings.” - Dr Peter Morris, School of Life Sciences, Heriot-Watt University”I don’t know of any other biology/biochemistry book that explains DNA replication as well as this one.” - Lynn Rogers, School of Molecular and Biomedical Science, Adelaide University”The style is very clear, logical and systematic. The diagrams complement the text well.” - Dr Momna Hejmadi, Department of Biology and Biochemistry, University of Bath”Good entry level biochemistry textbook that gives students an overview of the diversity of biochemistry and that introduces abstract concepts in a well-explained and accessible way.” - Dirk Wildeboer, Natural Sciences, Middlesex University”This textbook presents classical biochemistry material with a balanced emphasis on details and conceptual understanding. Explanations are given in a conversational manner so that students are not distracted by an over-whelming amount of new terminology.” - Amanda Storm, Biology, James Madison University
