Concise summary of mainstream biochemical concepts

The biochemistry review contains a brief, but very well organized summary of each of the chapters in the Biochemistry book by Roskoski. There are questions at the end of each chapter pertaining to the topics discussed in the main text. These questions are meant to be a review for the USMLE exam for medical students and are written in that style and level of difficulty. Also, one of the best features I have found is the glossary at the end of the book that contains a variety of medical terms and their definition. I have learned a considerable amount about clinical situations just by looking up words I don't recognize in my readings and learning how they are used in clinical context. The last thing I want to point out is that the questions at the end of the chapter are followed by a key that contains detailed explanations of the answers. Not one sentence answers, but paragraphs of information that are extremely beneficial in learning biochemical concepts.
