About the book
"[The book] has been designed for one- and two-semester courses for undergraduates majoring in biochemistry and related disciplines, as well as for graduate students who require a broad introduction to biochemistry. It is also suited for courses at medical, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, and other professional schools. The book will be used most successfully by students who have completed two years of college-level chemistry, including organic chemistry, and have received at least an introduction to biology. While some background in physics and physical chemistry would be useful, all relevant principles are introduced in a manner that should make them accessible to most students"--Pref.
