Biochemistry: Board Review Series

"I had the misfortune of not taking medical school biochemistry in my first year, so I attempted to cram all of biochemistry in a few days using this book. The books was incredibly dense, went into the pathways in incredible detail, and was not particularly helpful for highlighting the important concepts tested on USMLE Step I. I would definitely use another book for Step I review, but I might use this if I had to take a rigorous biochemistry course."

"Buy the new one. The older version (Version 3) is far inferior to the new one (Version 4). Regardless neither version was extremely helpful or relative to my class, however they might come in handy when studying for boards (I am keeping my book till then)."

"This book is not bad but for Board review stick with Goljan and get the Rapid Review. For class there is not enough detail so I would stick with Lippincott's Biochemistry"

"It's a good to help review before a test. Not very good for intro biochemistry (amino acids, protein structures, post-translational modification, etc). Has good clinical applications."

"This book is a must for any medical biochemistry class. I probably could have skipped all the required texts and just bought this."
