TextLanguage: Eng Publisher: New Delhi S Chand And Company Limited 2021Description: xxxii,1615 p. PB 23.5x16 cmISBN: 9789352838301Subject(s): BiochemistryDDC classification: 574.192 Summary: This book has been primarily designed to familiarize the students with the basic concepts of biochemistry such as biomolecules, bioenergetics, metabolism, hormone biochemistry, nutrition biochemistry as well as analytical biochemistry. The book is flourished with numerous illustrations and molecular structures which would not only help the students in assimilating extensive information on a spectrum of concepts in biochemistry, but also help them in retaining the concepts in an effective manner. Key Features
• Over 850 figures to facilitate effective understanding of the concepts
• More than 600 questions to test understanding of the concepts
• Life history contributions of over 100 biochemists
• Exhaustive glossary with about 1700 words along-with etymology of most of the
technical terms
