Book Title: Biochemistry

Author: Lehninger

Selection Statement:

As an undergraduate student, I became interested in biological sciences. During my undergraduate studies, I enrolled in a biology course that required the use of the textbook Biochemistry by Lehninger. My introduction to this textbook sparked my first interest in biochemistry. After graduation, I entered graduate school to pursue a degree in biochemistry, and the same book was used for the introductory biochemistry. This further enhanced my fascination with the field of biochemistry, and I completed my studies with a M.S. and PhD. in biochemistry. I therefore choose the biochemistry book for the great impact it had in molding my present career.
