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

Fully revised, new edition presenting latest developments in medical biochemistry. Includes many new chapters and case reports. Previous edition published in 2006.

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.

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

Biochemistry Explained employs an innovative approach which has proven highly successful in the author's own classes. The author establishes a thorough understanding of the foundations of and common linkages between molecular structures and reactions, so that eventual interpretation of complex biochemical pathways and reactions is easy. All of the major molecular structures and biochemical pathways are explained, and, for the most part, these center on mammalian biochemistry. The text is supported by biochemical nomenclature and questions to bear in mind while reading. Higher learning sections are also provided for advanced students. Written in an informal, conversational style, this textbook will serve as an invaluable resource for any student who is struggling with the standard texts and for postgraduate students who need to refresh their knowledge.
