About Book
This e book is revised retaining in view all classes of college students and it addresses their desires in a easy and sensible manner as biochemistry tries to provide an explanation for the thriller of existence in the language of chemistry.
I hope the e book will be acquired warmly through the college students as properly as instructors for each wish most advantages out of it. All the chapters are revised to acquire perception and clarity. Suggestions to enhance the future variations are most welcome and will be exceptionally appreciated.
I would like to thank Shri Jitendar P Vij (Chairman and Managing Director) and Mr Tarun Duneja (Director Publishing) of M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, New Delhi for the book of this book. Mr Subrata Adhikary (Author Coordinator) deserves distinctive reward for this venture.
Biochemistry presently occupies an eminent function particularly amongst clinical subjects. However, there are few texts in the market at existing which allow the college students to collect a working information of the subject.
Having been linked with the instructing occupation for the previous few years, I am nicely acquainted with the difficulties encountered via the college students whilst making an attempt to grasp the subject.
The existing e book is the end result of my humble strive to overcome these handicaps and current the challenge in a easy and without difficulty understandable form.
Attempts have been made to illustrate the situation depend with diagrams and chemical formulae anyplace necessary.
Special thanks to my writer Shri Jitendar P Vij, except whose help, this e book ought to now not have viewed the mild of the day.
Above and over all, this time the e book has been introduced in multicolour version with profuse color illustrations so as to amplify its clarity, understandability and legibility, in particular of the diagrams.

This e book has a flavour of its personal both, in scope and content, tremendously special from a wide variety of already current textbooks on Medical Biochemistry. Author has effectively met the necessities of a student-centred and need-based, progressive curriculum and dovetailed this in proper share with pertinent elements of basic, utilized and scientific principles applicable to Health Sciences.
While major ideas of chemical and molecular groundwork of illnesses have now not been misplaced sight of and the rising frontiers of recombinant DNA lookup and genetic engineering have been given due importance, the pupil is now not careworn with the small print linked to and inherent in the existing day avalanche of information.
A alternatively balanced view of information ranging from molecular to organismal degrees has been undertaken. The first few chapters on fundamental ideas set the proper tempo in this path for the college students to follow.
Emphasis is given to the presentation and evaluation of medical instances so that the utility of biochemical principles, which includes the aberrations in disease, is succinctly introduced out. The strategy seems to be to “understand biochemistry via fitness problems” or higher possibly to “understand fitness issues via biochemistry”.
At the cease of every chapter, questions associated to scientific instances which are of mammoth assist to the pupil in the diagnostic evaluation of scientific troubles are discussed.
