Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry 6th Edition by David L. Nelson and Michael M. Cox maintains the clarity and coherence that so appeals to students whilst incorporating the very latest advances in the field, new worked examples and end of chapter problems and an improved artwork programme to highlight key processes and important lessons.
This text draws on a successful history initiated with the first edition which was a landmark text in its time. The 28 chapters follow an expected and logical progression from discussion of the fundamental molecules involved in cellular events through metabolism to the latest aspects of molecular biology. Illustrations are well done and frequent. Each chapter is accompanied by a short but useful bibliography and a set of problems.
Problem answers are at the end, together with a detailed glossary and a thorough index. In an attempt to capture as broad a student audience as possible, discussions of both photosynthesis and metabolic diseases are offered. Thus, the material can be used in undergraduate/graduate courses as well as in medical school.
As with other representatives of this text style, the typical student is likely to have some difficulty assigning relative importance to a given item considering the overall depth of coverage of topics. Nevertheless, careful reading with some guidance will be rewarding for most scholars and the book will serve as companion text for the usual biochemistry course.
Authors provide students with a thorough biochemistry text. Given the overall importance of modern biochemistry (broadly writ), this is a worthwhile objective. In general, the goals are met. The target audience includes senior undergraduate, graduate, and medical students. The authors are both knowledgeable and experienced.
