Bio books?...

Scroll to see replies

Is Stryer supposed to be the bible of Biochemistry? A *tad* too complicated for me, but I sound clever when I mention random long words during biology and chemistry lessons. Then I get beaten up after class :frown:

Yes - it used to be the recommended text for virtually all degrees with a component of biochem or molecular biology - I don't think it is so much now though, as a lot of the 'ickle biochem grads on my course (from Leeds and Imperial) said that they were told that it went into too much depth!

Pah! Dumming down or what :wink:

If I had to endure the hell of 'refer to Stryer' then so should everyone else :wink:

It's character building!

About 2

nah, it varies, this semester i'm probably using bits from 10 - 12 different books, with the use of others in the library.

Wow..do you buy all those books, or borrow from library? Must cost a lot, and do they last you the whole 5 years?

I've got maybe another 5 or 6 library books lying around my room and another couple of my books on the floor. But it looks like you beat me.

I use them as reference when necessary. And I do own all the crash course books for the sciences and systems I've done so far. (unfortunately they don't go into good enough detail otherwise I'd just buy them :frown:

) I dread to think how much we've all spent on books.
