Description
Biochemistry is a dynamic field which reveals the molecular mechanisms of fundamental biological processes. Recombinant DNA technology, genetic engineering, biotechnology, protein engineering and related fields are developed to such an extent which will result in exploration of tremendous potentialities of biology and medicine.
In this book an attempt has been made to provide details of the biochemistry of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids, enzymes, hemoglobin along with the metabolism and abnormalities related to them. Basic principles of bioenergetics, biological oxidation and metabolism of water and minerals are explained in such a simple language that will be easily understood by the students. Practicals releated to biochemistry are also included in the book.
