BIOCHEMISTRY, Second Edition deals with the latest information and updates in the field of biochemistry. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and explains the concepts of biochemistry in a simplified manner. The book has been organized into four parts. The first part begins with the study of the structure and functions of biomolecules. The second part deals with bioenergetics and metabolism. The third part briefly explains gene concept and gene expression. The fourth part describes various biochemical techniques. Multiple choice questions (MCQs) have been provided at the end of each chapter to help the students to test their understanding and knowledge. The book also includes a list of common abbreviations and a comprehensive glossary of important terms used in biochemistry.
