I enjoyed this book and learned a lot from reading it. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the field. If you are new to the topic it is perfectly easy to pick up this book and get a feel for the area, as well as learn a lot. However, I would be inclined to read volume 1 first to get a more general understanding. * Biochem (Lond) (2019) 41 (6): 52–55 *
