This textbook ‘Biochemistry’ has become one of the most preferred
text books (in India and many other countries) for the students as
well as teachers in medical, biological and other allied sciences. The
book has undergone three editions, several reprints, and revised
reprints in a span of 13 years.
There are many biochemistry textbooks in the market. Some of them are
purely basic while others are applied, and there are very few books
which cover both these aspects together. For this reason, the students
learning biochemistry in their undergraduate courses have to depend on
multiple books to acquire a sound knowledge of the subject.
This book, ‘Biochemistry’ is unique with a simultaneous and equal
emphasis on basic and applied aspects of biochemistry. This textbook
offers an integration of medical and pure sciences, comprehensively
written to meet the curriculum requirements of undergraduate courses
in medical, dental, pharmacy, life-sciences and other categories
(agriculture, veterinary, etc.).
This book is designed to develop in students a sustained interest and
enthusiasm to learn and develop the concepts in biochemistry in a
logical and stepwise manner. It incorporates a variety of pedagogic
aids, besides colour illustrations to help the students understand the
subject quickly and to the maximum. The summary and
biomedical/clinical concepts are intended for a rapid absorption and
assimilation of the facts and concepts in biochemistry. The
self-assessment exercises will stimulate the students to think rather
than merely learn the subject. In addition, these exercises (essays,
short notes, fill in the blanks, multiple choice questions) set at
different difficulty levels, will cater to the needs of all the
categories of learners.
New to This Edition
* The book offers an integration of medical and pure sciences, and
is comprehensively written, revised and updated to meet the curriculum
requirements of Medical, Pharmacy, Dental, Veterinary, Biotechnology,
Agricultural Sciences, Life Sciences, and others studying Biochemistry
as one of the subjects.
* It is the first text book on Biochemistry in English with
multi-colour illustrations by an author from Asia. The use of
multicolours is for a clearer understanding of the complicated
biochemical reactions.
* It is written in a lucid style with the subject being presented as
an engaging story growing from elementary information to the most
recent advances, and with theoretical discussions being supplemented
with illustrations, flowcharts, and tables for easy understanding of
Biochemistry.
* It has each chapter beginning with a four-line verse followed by
the text, biomedical concepts, a summary, and self-assessment
exercises. The lively illustrations and text with appropriate headings
and sub-headings in bold type faces facilitate reading path clarity
and quick recall.
* It provides the most recent and essential information on Molecular
Biology and Biotechnology, Diabetes, Cancer, Free Radicals, Free
radicals and Antioxidants, Prostaglandins, etc.
* It describes a wide variety of case studies and biochemical
correlations and several newer biomedical aspects- Metabolic syndrome,
Therapeutic diets, Atkins diet, Trans fatty acids, Epigenetics,
Nutrigenomics, Recombinant ribozymes, Membrane transport disorders,
Pleural fluid etc.
* It contains the basics (Bioorganic and Biophysical Chemistry,
Tools of Biochemistry, Immunology, and Genetics) for beginners to
learn easily Biochemistry, origins of biochemical words, confusables
in Biochemistry, principles of Practical Biochemistry, and Clinical
Biochemistry Laboratory.
