biochem/molecular texts

[tuesunsommiel]

anyone use/recommend either Biochemistry (garret/grisham) or Molecular biology (3/e) (weaver)? i have Albert's Essential Cell Biology (not the Molecular Biology of the Cell) and im wondering whether or not it's worth getting mol.bio of the cell instead. if anyone has any advice, my sanity will thank you

(these are the books below)
biochem
Amazon.com: Biochemistry, Update (with CengageNOW 2-Semester, InfoTrac 2-Semester Printed Access Card): Reginald H. Garrett,Charles M. Grisham: Books

mol. bio.
Molecular Biology

cell bio
Garland Science - Essential Cell Biology

[GREbiochem]

I think you should read Molecular biology of the cell if you don't want to purchase an extra molecular biology textbook.
For biochem I see a lot of people here use Stryer or Lehninger instead. Stryer is easier to read for me.

hello

I use Harper for biochemistry. The last exam questions on experiment come out from the graph I saw in that book.

Cell & Molecular biology: Lodish and Alberts

Genetics: Griffiths

After all, I'd suggest study major pathways that I've written in this forum. If you have those books and don't bother to buy anymore, study them. But do research on other books as well after you've studied your book...maybe your local community library or school library or from friends.

If we ask how many fingers do humans have in both hands? the answer would be 10 all the time except polydactyly. Likewise those general facts would be truth. But you'll need to look from differernt perspectives....ie. how other books describe the same processes ))

i searched for the Lehninger Biochemistry text and came up with the text's website. it has a lot of example questions, videos and the like and seems to be a pretty helpful asset for studying (Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry)
