I have kept my copy of Stryer -the biochemistry "bible" it was in the 1980's it will be way out of date now!
When I moved over to Italy in '87 I sold off lots of my books and records -needed the cash and to off-load some weight. I regret it now as I left behind some "old friends" which I've not read since, books like Brideshead Re-visited and I, Clavdivs come to mind, among others.
