Biochemistry

The main source of inspiration to bring out this book has been our interaction with students. It gives us immense pleasure to present to pharmacy students our book entitled “Biochemistry”. Writing a book is inspiring, often exciting, and sometimes very challenging work.

Biochemistry is being transformed with astonishing rapidity and current efflorescence in the knowledge in this subject has necessitated that it should be learnt separately from Chemistry and Physiology. A sound and comprehensive learning of biochemistry will help a Pharmacy student understand medicine and pathology more clearly.

This book mainly guides students to get knowledge about basics of Biochemistry. All the contents are discussed in detail and suitable examples are explained whenever require. This book is highly useful for understanding of principle(s) involved in various metabolic pathways and covers almost each metabolic pathway and the diseases associated with in a simplest way.
