Don't buy it guys- no educational value Don't buy it guys- no educational value

This app is essentially a compilation of poorly printed or scanned topics which were apparently ripped off from some textbooks. Way to go, Oxford! Illustrations are terrible, chemical transformations (like glycolysis or Krebs Cycle reactions) represent poorly drawn ChemDraw diagrams (no mechanism, no enzyme names for each transformation). The author's understanding of the topic is superficial- there is no "fresh look" on any of the topics in general, which indicates that whoever wrote or compiled the app belongs to the kind of students who tend to memorize what is written in textbooks rather then to understand, think it over, and possibly propose an alternative way to explain the topic.

The app has a search function which makes it easy to use like Wikipedia. You can also 'click through' a topic to find sub-topics within, which is really helpful for making sure you cover everything in an essay. The articles are clearly written for undergrads which makes them easier to follow than Wikipedia or primary papers. The recent update has improved the structural Biology and metabolism sections a lot too

Bug? Bug?

It's a good app but every time I look into a category I have to restart the app to get back to the menu. You really should fix this because it's annoying. A simple "back"-button would do.

Buggy Buggy

Application quits when attempting to look aminoacids, for example references -> aminoacids -> isoleucine , and some others. In a few other chapters were the same bugs. Not enough information in some articles, more schemes and links for further information are needed.

A wealth of information A wealth of information

There is nothing wrong with the layout design of the app. You pick the major category, then subcategory and/or process or molecule. How else can you present this much technical information? I'm glad I ignored the review that said not to buy this app as this is VERY educational and a good reference tool. The only problem I have found with the app so far is that when I select Macromolecules/Bioinformatics, the app crashes. The reference section is extremely useful. This app assumes, as it states in its introduction, that the reader already has some knowledge of Biochemistry. If it takes 10 minutes to find what you're looking for use the search feature! :-) I can find anything that is in the app in 5-10 seconds.

Description

~ Latest update uploaded 11/11/2013 ~

Biochemistry Reference is a self-contained series of articles for a wide range of biochemistry topics. With articles covering topics ranging from lipid chemistry to developmental biology, Biochemistry Reference was written with the biochemistry undergraduate or major in mind. This encyclopaedic app would be perfect to brush up on biochemistry before the start of your degree, help you with essays and support your revision right up to your last exam.

We really hope you like Biochemistry Reference. Our website has more details about the contents of the app, including a video app demonstration.

* 350 pages of concise biochemistry
* Quick-access references to...
