My biomolecule ranking: proteins > nucleotides > lipids > carbs. Catch me listing amino acid 3-letter codes in my sleep. Stars off for (1) glycolysis and (2) the citric acid cycle. Everything beyond "mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" I have learned against my will.

the amount of time I spent reading these silly books means that they’re getting logged here.

can’t say I enjoyed the plot of this one 🦭

[Matthias Walters · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent coverage of biochemistry material. Explanations of terms and concepts were pedagogically efficient.

[Gracie Parker · Rating 2 out of 5]

so unnecessarily hard to get through. Shoutout to Yusuf A. Hasan on YouTube for the chapter by chapter breakdowns. 5 stars for you Yusuf.

[Abozzi]

Definitely my least favorite out of the three I’ve read so far. Chapter 7-9 brainfucked me too much.

The first few chapters of this book were actually pretty straightforward and not too terrible… the last 4 were especially confusing. There’s a strong chance I’ll have to revisit all of the metabolism information via video supplementation because what the heck was that 😐

Never giving 5 stars to an MCAT book. Overall a good biochem summary. But why would you cram all the super important pathways in 2 chapters. The chapter questions are terrible, not helpful at all
