Really useful for AS Biology!
|
|
I am currently revising for the first module of Biology AS (cell biology, biochem, genetic structure and cell division) and have found this book really useful to revise from. It not only helps my understanding of the biochem topics because the chemistry is covered in more detail (I study chemistry as well) but is also easy to read from when revising and the text is supported with pretty pictures! (Clear diagrams are key when it comes to revising biology topics)

Useful grounding
|
|
I'm a first year medical student without a Chemistry A level and have found this book useful to give me the grounding in some of the basics I needed for the first term. The answer to SAQ2.2a(ii) is wrong however - an increase in pH would cause the R group of aspartic acid to remain ionised.

A real asset for someone who finds chemistry challenging
|
|
I am currently studying Nutritional Therapy and one of the core modules is, naturally, biochemistry. I've bought lots of books because I haven't studied chemistry to A' level before and was anxious to get as much help as possible. This is by far the most user-friendly without losing out in detail and depth. The feature I love the most is that, throughout any chapter, there are sections where a few questions are posed. Each time it's an opportunity to consolidate what you've just learned and also a reality check on what you haven't. Really excellent; most enjoyable (if you can describe chemistry in that fashion!)
