What Customers Say About Textbook of Biochemistry With Clinical Correlations (Textbook of Biochemistry w/ Clinical Correlations):

I loved this book because it has a lot of clinical cases and makes biochemistry a little more fun.I purchased it because I still use it.I consult a couple of things and to clarify others.

great text. a lot of detail. not good for reviewing, but good for finding detailed information.

It is almost 2 weeks outside of the window for the arrival of my book. I have tried to contact the distributor to ask where my book is and have recieve no response (its been a couple days now). I am approaching EXAM II and have no book to reference the material for my class (i made the purchase before classes started)

However, Devlin and his associates have done what so many authors of biochemistry texts have not. As an undergraduate professor who teaches Biochemistry, I feel that this text is about as good as it gets with regard to "real world" applications. provided relevance. I will agree that it can be a somewhat difficult read - even the most well-educated novice might be overwhelmed by the details and progression of thought. The enzyme chapter in particular is less than stellar in its organization/presentation (a step back from the 5th edition when a different author penned that chapter). Often, this facet alone can make tackling an otherwise daunting amount of subject matter possible. As long as you have the proper guidance/instruction, this text is an invaluable tool for appreciating the signficance of biochemical pathways in the onset/progression of human disease.

I am currently teaching my first year of medical biochemistry and this book is a nice balance. Not as "hard core" on the chemistry as Voet & Voet, but more comprehensive than Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews or Baynes and Dominiczak's Medical Biochemistry. Similar in depth to Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry but slightly less emphasis on the medical aspects. Decent illustrations and the clinical coorelations boxed seperately within the text is a nice feature.
