Editorial Review:
BRS Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Fourth Edition is an updated revision of a bestselling review, with an increased clinical focus, expanded molecular biology material, and several completely new chapters. The book outlines the important facts and concepts tested on the USMLE, within the context of physiologic functioning of the human body. Each chapter begins with a summary and ends with a high-yield summary to consolidate the material, so students can cover topics in a shorter time. Clinical vignette USMLE-style review questions, answers, and explanations appear after each chapter and in a comprehensive end-of-book exam. All the question material is also available online for electronic practice.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good review of biochem
BRS biochemistry covers all the material that you would expect, and, while there are errors in the review questions, most are simply the answer choice not corresponding to the explanation. I, for one, prefer the BRS format to the rapid review, so I'll put up with the inconvenience.
Rating:  - worthless
The questions on this book are not consistant with questions on NBME shelf exams. I used this book to study, consistantly scored very well on the end of chapter and the comprehensive eams in the book, yet I was dumbfounded by the questions on the NBME biochem shelf exam. The material tested on the exam was the same material covered in this book, however, the emphasis was on the wrong things.
Rating: - This book is worthless
I am speechless about this book. It is so riddled with errors that the questions cannot possibly represent Boards questions. The questions are too detailed, contain too many calculations, and does not adequately prepare you for the Boards. This book is worthless. The errors are prolific. The authors should be ashamed. This was the most epic waste of my education to date.
Rating: - Way too many errors, in both questions and text
I found myself extremely frustrated with this book. I found so many errors in the questions, and even some in the text (it would literally say a completely different thing on one page than the next). I spent so much time checking facts in it and trying to make sure what they were saying was correct. I also found myself worrying about the things I did not catch, and if I was learning incorrect information. I very much disliked this book, and I would discourage anyone from purchasing it.
Rating: - Poorly Written Book
I have used the anatomy and this book (BRS Bio Chem & Molecular Bio) of the BRS series and this one has got to be the worst book I have ever used for review. Through out the entire book there are mistake (both in the text and in the practice questions). You will spend more time trying to figure out if the book it right or wrong then actually studying. I would NOT recommend this book to anyone! I returned this book after using it for 1 day!
