Practical Biochemistry

Practical Biochemistry provides both foundational knowledge and advanced insights into biochemistry, including the basic compounds, and laboratory methods. The book is designed for students and academic professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding of the practical aspects of the subject. The book is systematically divided into five sections, each dedicated to a specific category of macromolecules and related biochemical techniques: 1) Carbohydrates, 2) Proteins, 3) Nucleic acids, 4) Lipids, 5) Supplementary Techniques and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Each chapter within these sections is structured to provide a thorough understanding of the aim, principles, procedures, and practical applications of biochemical techniques. Key features: · Comprehensive Information: meticulously organized and structured chapters provide a thorough and methodical approach to learning · Additional Learning Tools: ‘Did You Know’ segments and ‘Viva Voice’ questions enrich the learning experience by offering interesting facts and stimulating critical thinking · Practical Focus: Step-by-step guides aid readers in understanding and applying the techniques in the lab · Safety and Accuracy: teaches how to conduct safe and accurate experiments with precautions · Accessible Language: simple and lucid language helps beginners to understand complex biochemical concepts Readership This is a primary resource for biochemistry and other life science research courses at college and university levels that require learning practical laboratory techniques.
