Books:

Required reading is Concepts in Biochemistry 3rd ed. by Rodney F. Boyer   (see chapter list in syllabus)
A course booklet is available at the UCD book store, including all slides of lecture presentations.

Other introductory books  cover the same material, but are somewhat more difficult to read:
Voet, Voet and Pratt, Biochemistry 3rd. ed.
Garret & Grisham, Biochemistry 3rd. ed.
Berg, Tymoczko and Stryer, Biochemistry, 6th ed.

Instructor: Assoc. Professor Oliver Fiehn

Phone: 754-8258 Email: ofiehn@ucdavis.edu
Office: 1314 / 1315 GBSF Building (Genome Center, first floor)
