BIOCHEMISTRY


Medical biochemistry is an essential component of curriculum for all categories of health professionals. Contemporary Biochemistry plays a crucial role in the Medical field, be it metabolic pathways, storage diseases, mechanism action of varied biomolecules or inter and intra cellular communications.
A lecture note on Medical biochemistry integrates and summarizes the essentials of the core subject. Topics are carefully selected to cover the essential areas of the subject for graduate level of Health sciences. The chapters are organized around the following major themes:
Conformation of biomolecules, structure and their relationship to biological activity
synthesis and degradation of major metabolites
Production and storage of energy
Biocatalysts and their application
Intercellular communication by hormones
Molecular events in gene expression and regulation
