Great introduction to biochemistry:
This was the first biochemistry book that I ever read and I was very pleased with the way it presents the material as well as the order of topics covered. It covers all the essential topics needed for a one year introductory course in biochemistry and it explains the topics in a very clear and precise manner.

I would have liked to have had the Voet as the assigned text book for my class.
