For the scientist-cook
After reading the Italian translation a coupe of years ago, I was so much hoping for an English translation, and here it is; and it's brilliant! It's quite one thing to follow recipes and follow instructions, and quite another to understand at a physico-chemical level ...

BRS Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Board Review Series)

Todd A Swanson, Sandra I Kim, ...

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

Good review of biochem
BRS biochemistry covers all the material that you would expect, and, while there are errors in the review questions, most are simply the answer choice not corresponding to the explanation. I, for one, prefer the BRS format to the rapid review, so I'll put up with the ...
