Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes in living organisms. It deals with the structure and function of cellular components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. Although there are a vast number of different biomolecules, many are complex and large molecules that are composed of similar repeating subunits.
This comprehensive book thoroughly explains advanced biochemical concepts while offering a unified presentation of life and its variation through evolution. Contains a wealth of biochemical applications such as agricultural, pharmaceutical, medical and forensic. This book has been updated to reflect the enormous advances in molecular and protein structure. The book is beautifully designed and executed, and renders the study of biochemistry enormously appealing to graduate and undergraduate students. |
