That was the problem! an introductory biochemistry course is supposed to teach you the basics with great emphasis placed on biopolymer structure (i.e. The major flaw of Voet is in its first two parts, the final part is actually quite good, once you understand the basics. For student such as myself, I found Voet not to have those transient features to fully make the migration from structural and mechanistic elucidations of organic chemistry to analysis of macromolecules and complex metabolic pathways. ![]() To recount my position, I had just finished introductory organic chemistry and went into biochemistry. ![]() I am a Chemistry major who suffered at the hands of my inarticulate lecturer and also the intially hated Voet & Voet Biochemistry. This makes students suffer and dislike the subject but truly, biochemistry is a remarkably interesting topic, provided one has the appropriate source of information. It is far too often that lecturers erroneously prescribe Voet for introductory biochemistry courses. ![]()
