Latest 6 Reviews Here is what people are saying about the Principles of Physical Biochemistry
"general book"

This book is a short survey of modern biophysics. Indeed, some chapters in this book have very general character and very often the knowledge presented in these chapters is not deep enough. Size of this book, which was published in one volume only is its biggest limitation, because presented subject is very wide and consists of many different scientific disciplines.
Anyway this book can be regarded as a good overview of the very wide and diverse subject. I really do not understand why so many people complain here so much.
This is book about the principles of biophysics.

The title says it all. This book has lots of good information, but the mere task of trying to read it will put a stressed head to sleep.
"Great book! More geared to P-Chem students and students in Physics."

I'm a grad student in Physical Chemistry and from my point of view a great book! I can see how many students can rate this book as negative without the proper preperation. As a matter of fact most grad. Chem(organic, inorganic, analytical....) majors found this book and course to be very difficult. Lets face it Physical Chemistry and all of its sub-disciplanes ARE mathematical. To really appreiciate this book you need to be comfortable with single & multivariabe calculus, differential equations(basic understanding of seperation of varible, understanding how the solutions are applicable to the D.E.), basic linear algebra, and basic concepts of vectors. It's not that the math is difficult but you have to be comfortable with it. In addition, you need two semesters of undergaduate P.Chem. With this preperation this book makes perfect sense! It's geared more 4 grad. students or advanced undergrads. So if your in theoretical or physical chemistry, or any other physical science this is ur book. If you dont enjoy physics and its application to chemical systems stay away but definately an addition to ur library. Cant say enough.
This book was assigned as the main text in my undergraduate structural biology course. I'm not sure what the professors expected; this book does not introduce material so much as it delivers a mathematical review of each of the concepts presented (thermodynamics, structure determination, and spectroscopic techniques).
Although I'm only an undergrad, I'm not sure how useful the book would be to more knowledgeable grad students. Chapters refer readers to equations found earlier in the book, making nonsequential reading a pain. Figures presenting data are taken from journal articles and their captions do a poor job of relating the data to the many equations in the text. Two professors in the course (in which different techniques were taught by different professors) commented that they found the sections of the book relating to their techniques (NMR and x-ray crystallography) confusing and poorly written.
I got through the class by shelving the book and heading to the library for better written text books.
If you're looking for a good introduction with a bit of math, I recommend checking out Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences by Peter Atkins, Julio de Paula. It's not as advanced, but it'll clarify Principles of Physical Biochemistry quite a bit.
"Very good book"

The book offers a comprehensive review on biophysical chemistry with an emphasis on practice, although the book may not be clear for readers without good background...
I am a chem major at Duke University and we used this book in my biophysical chem class. The book is all around horrible. It doesn't introduce topics at all- just jumps right in and assumes an depth knowledge about chemistry, physics, biology. There are no sample problems worked out at all, and even though some answers are in the back of the text it's hard to know how they arrived at the answer without any examples to look at. The book is dense and difficult to read, and other books like Cantor and Schimmel are much more readable and helpful. This book presents all the topics, but still left me confused and not understanding the topics indepth enough.
