Coming Soon-- Voet/Voet/Pratt: Fundamentals of Biochemistry!
BIOCHEMISTRY, Second Edition is a comprehensive textbook for serious students of biochemistry that became in its first edition the new world standard in its field. The goal of Donald Voet (an X-Ray crystallographer) and Judith Voet (an enzymologist) in writing this text remains to explain not only what is known about biochemistry, but also how and why we know it.Since most serious students of biochemistry will take the course several time in their academic careers, the authors have striven to provide the only textbook they will need for the course -- regardless of the level.
