Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry
Description
Lehninger’s Principles of Biochemistry is a very comprehensive book, in which a surprising number of current subjects that reflect the state of the art are described with unique illustrations. The reader must have some basic chemical knowledge to understand the text, and in some places the authors refer back to subjects that are only discussed in detail later on. In any case, the work overall is readily understandable, and is elaborately detailed for use both for learning and as a reference.
Thus, with illustrations that are of top-level quality and content that is kept simple and readable, these two work very well together. This is definitely not a case of pretty pictures being used to obscure weaknesses in the wording! Readers who are still obliged to learn from older biochemistry textbooks should take a look at Lehninger in this regard, since the authors have succeeded in exemplifying the newest methods and findings with truly well-crafted diagrams and text. It is well known that, thanks to structure elucidation, the spatial arrangement of biomolecules and the resulting effects on their function have become a focus of attention in science. These rapid advances are covered definitively in Lehninger.
