This is a succinct and well-organized book that concentrates on fostering a conceptual understanding of metabolic processes rather than rote memorization of chemical formulas and reactions. It uses large, clear diagrams for each concept, adds lists and tables of the enzymes and cofactors involved for most pathways, hits all the important points regarding regulatory mechanisms, and throws in a few clinical correlations to put everything in perspective. I've used it to review for all three of the USMLE Step exams as well as the Internal Medicine Boards, and have found the book to be a quick, easy, helpful reference.
