[.ca] Metabolism at a Glance (ISBN 1405107162)

This is a great book for biochemistry students:
This oversized paperback gives a wonderful overview of thesynthesis/metabolism of sugars, proteins andfatty acides. On the right hand page there is a picture of the complete metabolic pathway with the current topics pathways highlighted so that you can see how they fit in to the "big picture". On the opposite page a clear and concise summary is given, highlighting key points. I highly recommend this book to any student who is taking a Biochemistry class.

Metabolic pathways??? - Brilliant!:
As a biochemistry student I found this book to be the perfect partner to Albert Lehninger's "Principles of Biochemistry". An excellent overall picture of how each pathway interacts with other metabolic components.

Is this good one to study biochemical pathway?:
Actually, to memorize whole pathways of metabolisms is time-consuming work and easily worn out. So sometimes we think something good material connected the entire pathways should be needed. First of all, this book is hard to carry in your bag because this is over-sized shape, although the weight is light. Something to be desired is horrible pathways should be more inter-connected each other. Regulations on each pathway should be more added.

Excellent, Concise, and Thorough!:
This large format book reveiws basic metabolism in an easy to understand manner. Specific segments of the metabolic pathway are summarized within two pages. Each face-page gives an overview of the entire metabolic pathway, with an outline of the specific topic discussed within that section. Far easier to comprehend than the metabolic pathways as described in those well known Biochemistry tomes, where the entire metabolic pathway is spread over 100 or so pages!
