A very solid text!.......2003-08-28
I'm a computer guy working at a biotech and wanted to know more about what the guys in the coats are doing. This book is a very good introduction for those with a science bent.
I especially enjoyed reading about the Bohr model of the atom (which is what I learned in school) only to have it totally dissed after 3/4ths of a page as inadequate!
I don't know how well it works as a class room text (this is night-time reading for me) but for a enjoyable well written text on Biochemistry this is an excellent choice.

Book Description
Enzyme catalysis is a topic of fundamental importance in organic, bio-organic and medicinal chemistry. This new edition of a very popular textbook provides a concise introduction to the underlying principles and mechanisms of enzyme and coenzyme action from a chemical perspective.Whilst retaining the overall structure of the first edition - preliminary chapters describe the basic principles of enzyme structure and catalysis moving through to detailed discussions of the major classes of enzyme processes in the later chapters - the book has been thoroughly updated to include information on the most recent advances in our understanding of enzyme action. A major feature of the second edition is the inclusion of two-colour figures of the active sites of enzymes discussed in the text, in order to illustrate the interplay between enzyme structure and function. Problems, with outline answers, at the end of each chapter give the student the chance to the check their understanding of the material.As a concise but comprehensive account, Introduction to Enzyme and Coenzyme Chemistry will continue to prove invaluable to both undergraduate and postgraduate students of organic, bio-organic and medicinal chemistry.Tim Bugg is professor of biological chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, University of Warwick, UK.Also Available from Blackwell PublishingExperimental Organic Chemistry: Standard and MicroscaleSecond EditionL M Harwood, C J Moody and J M PercySoftback (0 632 04819 0), 728 pagesHeterocyclic ChemistryFourth EditionJ A Joule and K MillsSoftback (0 632 05453 0), 608 pagesIntroduction to Free Radical ChemistryA F ParsonsSoftback (0 632 05292 9), 248 pages
Customer Reviews:
Excellent summary of basic biological reactions..........2005-02-04
Bugg has done an excellent job of elucidating the unique characteristics of families of enzymes and reactions. Mechanisms are clearly and plainly represented, complete with pertinent active site amino acid residues.
This book is a formidable adjunct to any biochemistry student's (grad or undergrad) bookshelf. In addition, those interested in nutritional chemistry may find this book interesting.
Good on the more advanced material..........2005-01-08
This book provides a concise and readable account of the mechanisms of action of the main classes of enzyme-catalysed reactions; organic chemists familiar with mechanisms for hydrolysis, redox reactions, making and breaking carbon-carbon bonds, and so on, will readily recognize their counterparts in enzyme chemistry. The problems at the ends of the chapters are a particularly attractive feature, as thought has been given to making them intelligent and challenging. At the end of chapter 6 on redox chemistry, for example, the six problems occupy two full pages of the book, enough space being taken to set them out properly without trivializing them; the thoughtful answers given to the same six problems at the end of the book occupy almost another page.
Though in general I liked the last two-thirds of the book, it is worth commenting on a missed opportunity to illustrate why it is useful to know about the different kinds of enzyme inhibition. The well known herbicide glyphosate ("Roundup") acts by inhibiting 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, but I don't believe that its toxicity is due to the inability of treated plants to make lignin; it kills plants much too fast for that to be plausible, and it seems much more likely that they are killed by the huge increases in the shikimate concentration produced by the type of inhibition, which is uncompetitive, not competitive.
Another attractive feature is the intelligent use of colour in the structural drawings. Some books use colour just because they can, and the essential point of an illustration is lost in a gaudy mass of irrelevant colour. Here, in contrast, the structures are mainly presented in shades of grey, with red and black used to draw attention to particular features. To my mind this works very well, and probably far better than expensive use of a wider range of colours would have worked. Having said this, I'm not sure how far the author really agrees with me, because at the beginning of the book he refers wistfully to the "wide range of colours" available on the computer screen, contrasting with the "only red and black" used in the book.
So far I have concentrated on the things that I liked. Unfortunately the introductory chapters at the beginning are much less satisfactory than the later ones, and I should be reluctant to let a student read these without supervision. The description of the structures of aminoacids could have come straight from a book of the 1960s, and vagueness about ionic structures persists throughout the book.
The treatment of elementary kinetics is similarly unsatisfactory, and includes the common student blunder of supposing that the standard Michaelis-Menten treatment assumes that product formation is irreversible. On the same page, the curve that purports to illustrate Michaelis-Menten kinetics approaches its asymptote too quickly -- another common student error, still encouraged by a depressing number of textbooks. Two pages later we are told that the limit can be "roughly visualised" from the plot of rate against substrate concentration, so presumably the author has been misled by his own drawing, unless by "roughly" he means "very roughly indeed."
Book Description
Written by Mark Erickson, Shawn O. Farrell, and Courtney A. Farrell, the Student Solutions Manual is a comprehensive guide to working the solutions to the odd-numbered end-of-chapter problems in the text. The best way for students to learn and understand the concepts is to work multiple, relevant problems on a daily basis. The Student Solutions Manual provides instant feedback to students by not only giving the answers but also giving detailed explanations.
Book Description
By William M. Scovell. This resource helps students organize their study time and guides them through the topics in a systematic way. Each chapter of the text is covered by an introduction, a list of review topics, section-by-section study suggestions and questions, a list of key terms, and a practice exam with worked-out answers.

Book Description
This is an introductory text intended to give the newcomer to this area a comprehensive insight into the science of biotransformations. The book traces the history of biotransformations, clearly spells out the pros and cons of conducting enzyme-mediated versus whole-cell bioconversions, and gives a variety of examples wherein the bio-reaction is a key element in a reaction sequence leading from cheap starting materials to valuable end-products (such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, fragrances and flavors). The authors cover biotransformations involving the hydrolysis of esters, amides and nitriles, the synthesis of esters and amides, reduction and oxidation reactions and carbon-carbon bond-forming systems. The book finishes with a discussion of some industrially important large-scale bioconversions. The text will be suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals in the areas of biochemistry, organic chemistry, biotechnology, microbiology, and industrial chemistry.

An excellent intro to chemistry's future........1999-06-28
Although this book is, by the standards of technical progress these days, "old," it remains flawless in describing not only what was known then, but what remains the bulk of biocatalytic theory and practice now.
Since this synthetic approach has already demonstrated itself to be a cornerstone of so many industries (particularly the pharmaceutical industry) -- and since so many people don't know much about it and yet *fear* it, an understanding such as this book gives could not be more important to everyone -- especially scientists.
The author of this book succeeded in scoring a bullseye on a fast-moving target! Anyone interested in the chemistry of the future -- the chemistry that *already* is essential for perhaps most of our latest drugs should get this book.
One final kudo for this book: it's price is reasonable! Compare it to similar books on technical subjects. This kind of thing usually costs three or four times what this one does.
This book is the most accessible, informative book on a subject that has so far eluded other authors if they meant to speak to anyone but their peers.
Get it. You will not be sorry.
Book Description
Hydrogen bonds range from the very strong, comparable with covalent bonds, to the very weak, comparable with van der Waals forces. Most hydrogen bonds are weak attractions with a binding strength about one-tenth of that of a normal covalent bond. Nevertheless, they are very important. Without them, all wooden structures would collapse, cement would crumble, oceans would vaporize, and all living things would disintegrate into inanimate matter. An easy-to-read supplement to the often brief descriptions of hydrogen bonding found in most undergraduate chemistry and molecular biology textbooks, An Introduction to Hydrogen Bonding describes and discusses the current ideas concerning hydrogen bonding, ranging from the very strong to the very weak, with introductions to the experimental and theoretical methods involved. Ideal for courses in chemistry and biochemistry, it will also be useful for structural biology and crystallography courses. For students and researchers interested in supramolecular chemistry, biological structure and recognition, and other sophisticated concepts and methodologies, it provides a careful selection of key references from the vast hydrogen bonding literature.
Book Description
Using the chemistry of life as a unifying theme, this proven book offers an integrated and balanced treatment of chemical concepts. Balances qualitative discussions with careful development of basic problem-solving skills. Organized in sequential chapters covering general, organic, and biochemistry, the topics are woven together when appropriate by using organic examples in the general chemistry section and biochemical examples in the organic chemistry chapters. Many pharmaceutical, medicinal, and general interest subjects are used in the in-chapter end-of-chapter examples and exercises. Essays highlight chemistry in the world around us including many medical applications (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome; Gene Therapy in Cystic Fibrosis; Bone Marrow Transplants), dietary nutritional subjects (Bacteria and Ulcers; Diet, Amino Acid Supplements and Muscles), and general interest topics (Silicon Affects your Lifestyle; Recombinant DNA and Agriculture; Freon, Radicals, and the Ozone Layer).
