Introductory Practical Biochemistry, designed to cater to the requirements of students of biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology etc. covers modern techniques employed for qualitative and quantitative analysis of biomolecules. The techniques for genetic transformation etc., have been included to give preliminary information to the beginners in the field of genetic engineering. Radioisotopic and immunological techniques also find a place in the book. Each chapter starts with introductory details of the techniques followed by simple laboratory exercises. The book provides concise information on theoretical and practical aspects of the techniques employed in biochemical studies for the Undergraduate and Postgraduate students, Instructors and Research workers.

This comprehensive text offers a solid introduction to the biochemical principles and skills required for any researcher applying computational tools to practical problems in biochemistry. Each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, a review of the biological concepts involved, a discussion of the programming and applications used, key references, and problem sets and answers. Providing detailed coverage of biochemical structures, enzyme reactions, metabolic simulation, genomic and proteomic analyses, and molecular modeling, this is the perfect resource for students and researchers in biochemistry, bioinformatics, bioengineering and computational science.

Uniquely integrates the theory and practice of key experimental techniques for bioscience undergraduates. Now includes drug discovery and clinical biochemistry.

Contains well-illustrated real images of tests and instruments helpful to recollect and retain the concepts easily Organizes in a practical examination-oriented format including different sections such as Qualitative Analysis, Quantitative Analysis, Charts, Spotters and Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) Provides the questions along with every chapter for better comprehension Useful for daily practical work of students as it helps to carry out experiments, recognize the errors during experimentation, improve practical skills, sharpen the observation ability, develop interpretation capacity to enable biochemical diagnosis of different clinical conditions, and perform brilliantly in practical examinations Assists faculty and auxiliary staff in setting up laboratory for practical work as the details of reagent preparations are readily accessible with each chapter
