Rating:  - Very helpful
I used Biochemistry for Dummies to study for the ACS Biochemistry final at the University of Mississippi. Before the exam, I border-lined a high "B" and a low "A".

Rating:  - Burnsie stole my thunder
Just what I was going to say. I have NO background in biochemistry, but the first thing I noticed in the book was that it had errors on the cheat sheet--the very first page.

Rating: - Review please?
Did anyone review this book before it was published? The lack of arrows in the reactions, the labeling of two valines in the "cheat sheet," the structure of one of the valines is the same as the isoleucine, and leucine is left out. The book also mentions that mRNA for translation is directed to the mitochondria...a little confused on that one.
Overall, the book is a good review for those needing to refresh, but full of typos and stupid errors.
