- As in past editions, the chemical basis of modern Biochemistry is presented in a thorough and uncompromising fashion. Don and Judy Voet are scholars and teachers who have dedicated their careers to their students and this text.
- A splendid art program of over 3000 figures presents both classical and contemporary concepts, experiments, and techniques.
- A lucid and elegant writing style captures the historical foundations of contemporary Biochemistry focusing on the scientific process rather than presenting Biochemistry as a body of static facts isolated from the flesh-and-blood work of experimentalists.
- Themes throughout the text integrate a vast amount of material. The unity of evolutionary processes, the interdependence of elaborate biological control systems and cascades, and the important biomedical consequences of understanding life at the molecular level are themes woven into the text to give students an intellectually satisfying journey, not just a dry presentation of topics and techniques.
