Title
A GUIDE-BOOK TO BIOCHEMISTRY
Subject
BIOCHEMISTRY
Description
There are several good text-b09ks of biochemistry on the market,
and nobody has much quarrel with them-except that they are far
too long. We cannot blame authors who want to treat every branch
of the subject with justice, and develop a clear picture of the whole;
biochemistry itself is to blame. Still, anyone coming new to it may
be rather daunted by those thick volumes of 500 to 1000 pages. So
there ought to be room for something in the nature of a guide-book
dealing only with the bare bones; a few topics being ignored altogether and others liglltly passed over-in places a little too lightly,
perhaps. But for a more extended treatment, and in particular for
the sort of evidence that shows how living machinery works, the
inquirer will go to bigger and better books: Baldwin, Carter and
Thompson, Fruton and Simmonds, Mitchell, Thorpe, West and
Todd, etc.
