"I have an older edition of the Voet biochemistry book. (Biochemistry; Wiley Text Books; 2nd edition (January 15, 1995). It is a standard university text, but it does not emphasize the human medical aspects of biochem as does the Harper's book (Harper's Biochemistry; by Robert K. Murray). Buy it should make a good contrast. Two views are always better than one...You still need a cell biology text however." -- Paul Wakfer

"I would also recommend to your book list Molecular Biology of the Cell
by James D. Watson [co-discoverer of DNA], Bruce Alberts, et. al. It has a
great discussion on Mitochondria and DNA repair mechanisms."
