Donald Voet (U. of Pennsylvania) and Judith G. Voet (Swarthmore), two of this text's three authors (the third is Charlotte W. Pratt) already have under their belts a larger text, Biochemistry . The present text retains the philosophy of the earlier book, but it is less detailed and constitutes a re-vamped treatment of the subject both in organization and style. The material is organized to correspond with how the authors teach the course, but detailed division into sections and subsections allows instructors with other ideas to organize courses to their own tastes without apprehension that they've missed critical information. The included CD-ROM contains a variety of interactive three-dimensional molecular graphics displays and animations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Read Less
