About the Book

Practical Biochemistry

Practical biochemistry provides an excellent up-to-date account of the course and development of biochemistry. The major objective of biochemistry is the complete understanding of all the chemical processes associated with living cells at the molecular level. To achieve this objective, biochemists have attempted to isolate numerous molecules found in cells, to determine their structures and to analyze how they function. Biochemical studies have illuminated many aspects of disease and the study of certain diseases has opened up new therapeutic approaches. The study of biochemistry demonstrates the complexity of the contents and reaction pathways in even the tiniest, most simple cell. There are many reaction cycles and involves complicated enzymes and other compounds which depend on many various factors to function correctly. It is here that we begin to see the amazing complexity of life. This book present a succinct account of the essential features of the biochemistry, and is being prepared by keeping in view the requirements of the students and academic professionals.
