I obviously did not read this book cover to cover, but the sections that I did read were fairly easy to understand, but also managed to go into a fair amount of detail.
This book finally ties together the threads of courses in all the major biological sub-disciplines (biology, genetics, cell biology, microbiology), and places them firmly in the context of the chemistry of life. Would be a good read in conjunction with an introductory text on physiology.
I can honestly say I read every page of this book in 15 weeks, which consumed my entire being! Although nothing I heard in lecture made any sense, I had the book to teach me proper, and that made all the difference. Now I can finally read the other books on my list!!
I had the privilege of being taught by both of the authors. They are amazing teachers, and this book reflects the clarity of their in-class teaching as well as the depth of their knowledge.
I also have a huge crush on one Mr. David L. Nelson.

Yes, Lehninger is a principal text for introductory biochemistry and yes, it is amazing. I find the book to be extremely easy to navigate and easy to read (have read a large percentage of the text cover-to-cover). However, for those seriously interested in biochemistry, especially for someone seeking a single biochemistry reference text: You may want to go with Voet & Voet. The information in Lehninger is introductory. Mechanisms/step-by-step synthetic pathways (ex. cholesterol) are not in t...more
Manages to make an overall complicated subject a much easier pill to swallow. Filled with wonderful diagrams and bundles of information; a true lifesaver.
I'm done with this til (probably) next semester. It's getting marked as read to clear out my shelf a bit. Again.
Quite good as biochem books go, but not the most readable book ever written.
Perfect book for undergraduate studies. Good language and detailed content. Most of people think "Biochemistry by Stryer" is better over lehninger but according to me lehninger is the best. It has extra details over Stryer. Language is quite easier in stryer but overall best book for studying fundamentals of biochemistry.
This book has everything - EVERYTHING - you'll ever need to know about biochem. This is so complete, our lectures were almost completely lifted from it. On the downside, your teacher might be insane and want you to memorize it for the exam.
That's all I've been reading lately, so I might as well mark it. Best biochemisty textbook - written extremely well. If anyone is interested in biochemistry, this is what they should pick up. You must have some basic knowledge in organic chemistry.
เหมาะกับคนที่เรียนวิชาไบโอเคมขั้นพื้นฐาน อ่านเข้าใจง่าย มีสรุปให้ด้วย ใช้ท่องไซเคิลอย่างเดียว 55555
Um clássico! Imortal. Não há como estudar bioquímica sem passar por suas páginas..
This one's a life saver! Well, a bulky life saver, but a life saver all the same. ;)
The best biochemistry textbook
Another book Devil certainly did...
fAntAStic...!! muaaHHH...!
Although I'm required to read this book, it is very neat how the body works. I am fascinated by how well God has created all of us, and how perfectly we seem to function with ease. It is also neat to understand what happens when the systems are not properly functioning and how it all breaks down. If anyone is interested in learning more about how proteins, carbs, fats and nucleic acids work in the body, pick this book up and start reading.
In my opinion this text makes things sound even more complicated than they really are. In the end I relied on my slides and notes to get me through my BioChem class.
A wonderful operations manual for biology! Don't synthesize your next protein without it.
This book was very detailed.
Maybe moreso than other biochem texts, but readable none the less.

i'd have to say i prefer voet & voet better... but who wouldn't like to have BOTH on their shelf?
My biochem book... believe me, I'll read a lot of it over the quarter!
This textbook, while informative is unnecessarily long winded.
