I'm done with this til (probably) next semester. It's getting marked as read to clear out my shelf a bit. Again.

For my principles of biochemistry summer course. Not the driest textbook I've ever read, but not the most interesting text writing either. It does its job.
settare's review
This book is proof you can be fascinated and frustrated by a subject at the same time.
Tip for whoever might need it: if you're going to rely on only one text to study standard undergraduate level biochemistry, make it this one. Stryer's and Rawn's are too dry and abstract, whereas Harper's focuses too much on medical applications and medical case studies. (Even for pre-meds, I'd still suggest Lehninger's over Harper's, because the former is a lot more comprehensive).
