This is an ideal practical manual of biochemistry for MBBS students. It includes flowcharts, diagrams and colour pictures for clear visualization and understanding of the topics. Formulation of working reagents has been described along with each experiment. The manual includes viva-voce questions as well as information on biomedical waste segregations and disposal.

The idea of writing this book of VIVA VOCE/ORALS IN BIOCHEMISTRY is that, it should be much helpful to the MBBS and M.Sc. (Medical Science) students and postgraduate students for the preparation of examination. Though it is not a textbook of Medical Biochemistry, it is framed in the form of questions and answers in a simplified way. The book will definitely help the students for the preparation of their examinations. This book is also aimed at the level of general practitioners, clinicians and medical students and technicians for applying the knowledge of clinical biochemistry in the clinical side, as much emphasis is given in the clinical biochemistry. The list of clinical biochemistry topics include interpretation of laboratory data and biochemical features of some clinical diseases like metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, anaemias, jaundice, porphyrias and the disturbances of electrolyte and acid base balance.

The seventh edition of this book is a comprehensive guide to biochemistry for medical students. Divided into six sections, the book examines in depth topics relating to chemical basics of life, metabolism, clinical and applied biochemistry, nutrition, molecular biology and hormones. New chapters have been added to this edition and each chapter includes clinical case studies to help students understand clinical relevance. A 274-page free booklet of revision exercises (9789350906378), providing essay questions, short notes, viva voce and multiple choice questions is included to help students in their exam preparation. Free online access to additional clinical cases, key concepts and an image bank is also provided. Key points Fully updated, new edition providing students with comprehensive guide to biochemistry Includes a free booklet of revision exercises and free online access Highly illustrated with nearly 1500 figures, images, tables and illustrations Previous edition published in 2010

Practical Biochemistry provides both foundational knowledge and advanced insights into biochemistry, including the basic compounds, and laboratory methods. The book is designed for students and academic professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding of the practical aspects of the subject. The book is systematically divided into five sections, each dedicated to a specific category of macromolecules and related biochemical techniques: 1) Carbohydrates, 2) Proteins, 3) Nucleic acids, 4) Lipids, 5) Supplementary Techniques and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Each chapter within these sections is structured to provide a thorough understanding of the aim, principles, procedures, and practical applications of biochemical techniques. Key features: · Comprehensive Information: meticulously organized and structured chapters provide a thorough and methodical approach to learning · Additional Learning Tools: ‘Did You Know’ segments and ‘Viva Voice’ questions enrich the learning experience by offering interesting facts and stimulating critical thinking · Practical Focus: Step-by-step guides aid readers in understanding and applying the techniques in the lab · Safety and Accuracy: teaches how to conduct safe and accurate experiments with precautions · Accessible Language: simple and lucid language helps beginners to understand complex biochemical concepts

Biochemistry is the branch of science use to study chemical reactions in organisms. Biotechnology is a branch of science which help as catalyst (device or instrument) study biochemistry and many other field of science. Examining cells at a molecular level, biochemistry develops our understanding of the chemistry of life, revealing the complex processes in operation in living systems. Biotechnology harnesses these advances of understanding for beneficial use in industry, medicine and agriculture. Amino acids can be joined covalently through peptide bonds to form peptides, which can also be formed by incomplete hydrolysis of polypeptides. The acid-base behavior and chemical reactions of a peptide are functions of its amino-terminal amino group, its carboxyl-terminal carboxyl group, and its R groups. Peptides can be hydrolyzed to yield free amino acids. Some peptides occur free in cells and tissues and have specific biological functions. These include some hormones and antibiotics, as well as other peptides with powerful biological activity. At its simplest, biotechnology is technology based on biology - biotechnology harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet. We have used the biological processes of microorganisms for more than 6,000 years to make useful food products, such as bread and cheese, and to preserve dairy products. This book present a succinct account of the essential features of the biochemistry and biotechnology, and is being prepared by keeping in view the requirements of the students and academic professionals.
