For four decades, this extraordinary textbook played an pivotal role in the way biochemistry is taught, offering exceptionally clear writing, innovative graphics, coverage of the latest research techniques and advances, and a signature emphasis on physiological and medical relevance. Those defining features are at the heart of this edition.
User’s Reviews
JEREMY M. BERG received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemistry from
Stanford (where he did research with Keith Hodgson and Lubert Stryer) and
his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Harvard with Richard Holm. He then completed a
postdoctoral fellowship with Carl Pabo in Biophysics at Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine. He was an Assistant Professor in the
Department of Chemistry at Johns Hopkins from 1986 to 1990. He then moved
to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as Professor and Director of
the Department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry, where he remained
until 2003. He then became Director of the National Institute of General
Medical Sciences at the National Institutes of Health. In 2011, he moved to
the University of Pittsburgh where he is now Professor of Computational and
Systems Biology and Pittsburgh Foundation Chair and Director of the
Institute for Personalized Medicine. He served as President of the American
Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from 2011-2013. He is a
Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a
member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. He
received the American Chemical Society Award in Pure Chemistry (1994) and
the Eli Lilly Award for Fundamental Research in Biological Chemistry
(1995), was named Maryland Outstanding Young Scientist of the Year (1995),
received the Harrison Howe Award (1997), and received public service awards
from the Biophysical Society, the American Society for Biochemistry and
Molecular Biology, the American Chemical Society, and the American Society
for Cell Biology. He also received numerous teaching awards, including the
W. Barry Wood Teaching Award (selected by medical students), the Graduate
Student Teaching Award, and the Professor s Teaching Award for the
Preclinical Sciences. He is coauthor, with Stephen J. Lippard, of the
textbook Principles of Bioinorganic Chemistry. John L. Tymoczko is Towsley
Professor of Biology at Carleton College, where he has taught since 1976.
He currently teaches Biochemistry, the Metabolic Basisof Human Disease,
Oncogenes and the Molecular Biology of Cancer, and Exercise Biochemistry
and co-teaches an introductory course, Energy Flow in BiologicalSystems.
Professor Tymoczko received his B.A. from the University in Chicago in 1970
and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Chicago withShutsung
Liao at the Ben May Institute for Cancer Research in 1973. He then held a
postdoctoral position with Hewson Swift of the Department of Biology atthe
University of Chicago. The focus of his research has been on steroid
receptors, ribonucleoprotein particles, and proteolytic processing enzymes.
Gregory J. Gatto, Jr., received his A.B. degree in chemistry from Princeton
University, where he worked with Martin F. Semmelhack and was awarded the
Everett S. Wallis Prize in Organic Chemistry. In 2003, he received his M.D.
and Ph.D. degrees from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,
where he studied the structural biology of peroxisomal targeting signal
recognition with Jeremy M. Berg and received the Michael A. Shanoff Young
Investigator Research Award. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in
2006 with Christopher T. Walsh at Harvard Medical School, where he studied
the biosynthesis of the macrolide immunosuppressants. He is currently a
Senior Scientific Investigator in the Heart Failure Discovery Performance
Unit at GlaxoSmithKline. Lubert Stryer is Winzer Professor of Cell Biology,
Emeritus, in the School of Medicine and Professor of Neurobiology,
Emeritus, at Stanford University, where he has been on the faculty since
1976. He received his M.D. from Harvard Medical School. Professor Stryer
has received many awards for his research on theinterplay of light and
life, including the Eli Lilly Award for Fundamental Research in Biological
Chemistry, the Distinguished Inventors Award of the IntellectualProperty
Owners Association, and election to the National Academy of Sciences and
the American Philosophical Society. He was awarded the National Medalof
Science in 2006. The publication of his first edition of Biochemistry in
1975 transformed the teaching of biochemistry.”
Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:
⭐ I’m oddly a bit obsessed with how this book feels. It’s a hardcover book,
but the outside is sooo soft. It’s like velvet or felt or something (I’m
not so great with knowing fabrics). I just wish all my books felt this way.
It was also a great book for studying biochemistry. It came in handy.
⭐ I have access to the e-book as well, but the book is much better to have
access to when its in the physical form, I will need the book for biochem 1
&2 so its worth the money; I feel that if one takes higher level science
classes you actually care about the subject material and would like to
access the material and information in the future, so why not just buy the
book?
⭐ I absolutely love this Biochemistry book. It has a beautiful classic
clothbound cover and is filled with beautiful illustrations with easy
reading to simplify the complexities that go along with learning
Biochemistry. I highly suggest it!
⭐ Good book
⭐ Thank you
⭐ Excellent book, just what I was looking for. It was delivered very
quickly, and packaged as it should be. The book was unboxed in perfect
condition. Luckily no surprises!
⭐ Comprehension
⭐ Fantastic and comprehensive book.
⭐ It was very dense but helpful those few times I needed clarification.
⭐ Up-to date, well-organized textbook of biochemistry, always beyond
expectation
