The new edition of this classic introduction to the fundamentals of biochemistry remains faithful to the vision of its predecessors, while embracing the tremendous advances made in biochemical research since the previous edition.
As always, the book presents the fundamentals of biochemistry through selected topics, emphasising the most important recent developments and applications without abandoning the classical core of the subject. The Third Edition is thoroughly contemporary in content, design and teaching approach, with new material and references throughout, a number of new boxes on applications, striking new graphics and new problems drawing on real experimental data. Supplements include a superb study guide/solutions manual and an exclusive tutorial web site based on the Chemscape Chime 3-D molecular viewer. (amus)

 Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 3rd Ed.
The latest edition of Lehninger''s Principles of Biochemistry is presented in a very modern eye-catching layout with a lot of emphasis on structural 3D molecular images. This indeed is the most important fundamental part of today''s biochemistry because it manages to explain molecular mechanisms. The volume gives a lot of deep insight into the functioning of our molecules of life. If you have got plenty of time you will enjoy reading it because the author utilizes very vivid examples and, in a sense, always comes back to the "principles of biochemistry" in a wider perspective. So is the concept of protein function illustrated in detail at the beginning of the book for very well-investigated proteins, such as hemoglobin, and is later on refered to certain paradigms. This is what studying should be about, rather than an arrangement of facts. Admittedly, this book needs time to digest, so if you are in a hurry exam-study-session you will probably prefer to look at the well-drawn figures and be able to grasp the basic ideas in a short time. The main concepts are outlined again in the figure captions, which is very helpful. Classical biochemical pathways are still a major part of this book. But here again, there is a lot of generalization and these themes will help you to orientate throughout the entire metabolism. New tools for the elucidation of biochemical problems, e.g. Tandem MS/MS, are described as well and added to previous editions. These parts will serve as a good supplement to theoretical knowledge. Another big plus of the book is its CD-ROM with outstanding animations of molecular events and its website providing all the figures of the book as Power Point files. In the end, it is a highly recommendable book. Other books like Voet''s might be more condensed, and even if the present volume requires more time to grasp all the basics, this is what you need for a geniune understanding of biochemistry. (Guest)
  Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 3rd Ed.
Principles of Biochemistry is a superb book, both for undergraduate students studying introductory biochemistry and those on advanced undergraduate courses. The book truly does cover an immense amount of ground and with the increasingly important role of molecular biology; this book also fulfils such a role. As an undergraduate molecular biology student I have found Lehninger to be equally useful when studying structural biology or biochemistry.
Reaction pathways are clear and concise; a useful feature was the presentation of such pathways at a basic level with increasing levels of complexity as the reader progresses in their understanding of such concepts. The CD-ROM was also useful, particularly for myself as much of my course content was based on the text in PowerPoint form, so the illustrations on the CD-ROM could be viewed later on to recap.
In summery, a good all-round biochemistry book. Covers the fundamentals with the addition of very up-to-date concepts. As good as some and certainly better than most.

Review Books, Courses, Websites, Colleges or anything that is Medical!
This section invites reviews for the various books available in the market for the Indian PG Entrances like AIPGE, AIIMS, State PG etc; Foreign Exams like PLAB, USMLE, GRE etc; Medical Subjects like Surgery, Medicine etc; Allied Medical Subjects; CDs and online educational material; Any other interesting book e.g. Novels, Non Fiction. Anyone can review any book available in the market until and unless it is done honestly and is intended to help other people who are preparing for the PG Entrances. RxPG hopes that this will make the choice of the students a bit easy as the market is overloaded from books claiming to be good for preparations.
Reviews from authors and publishers about their forthcoming or existing books are also invited.
