Principles of Medical Biochemistry: With Student Consult Online Access [With CDROM/Student Consult Access]

I love this book - I would not, however, use this as your only biochem text book (I would also get Lippincott or the First Aid General Principles book). This book seems like it was written knowing where medical students run into problems. The book explains things simply and in a relatively easy to understand way. I also like the clinical applications in this book - not only is the biochemistry taught, but it also provides some clinical information as well. I didn't really like this when I was an M1, but now as I'm studying for my boards, I love it. I'll definitely reference this book for a long time.

This book is designed to educate medical students. It is easy and if you do the questions at the end of the chapters it helps you have a sound foundation of medical biochemistry. It is CLINICALLY oriented!!!

EXCELLENT BOOK I STRONGLY RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE INTERESTED ON THE SUBJECT

The author, Dr. Meisenberg, actually teaches Biochemistry at the medical school I attend. I found the text very well formatted and the illustrations extremely helpful. I personally read this book from cover to cover and along with the BRS, I think Biochemistry doesn't have to be a painful experience. Meisenberg integrates metabolism and other important subjects into several chapters to re-emphasize key points over and over. Many elaborate illustrations and graphs make learning hard to remember facts easier, and with the help of pertinent biochemical clinical facts you'll soon find relevance in a clinical setting far away from the classroom.
