Synopses & Reviews
Since its first edition in 1990, over 250,000 students have used biochemistry by Donald Voet of the University of Pennsylvania and Judith Voet of Swarthmore College. It has been translated into six languages (Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Czech) and is regarded around the world as the standard in its field.
The Third edition is now available in two volumes.
- Volume One covers Biomolecules, Mechanisms of Enzyme Action, and Metabolism. (0-471-25090-2)
- This text, Volume Two, covers the Expression and Transmission of Genetic Information.
The combined third edition will be published in 2004. (0-471-19350-x)
