Naik Pankaja (ed.) Essentials of Biochemistry

2nd edition. — Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers, 2017. — 525 p. — ISBN: 9789386150301The aim of this book is focussed on essential of biochemistry. Essentials of Biochemistry have been streamlined to focus on only the most essential biochemical concepts. This book consists of 35 chapters. This book covers the cell and membrane transport, carbohydrate chemistry, chemistry of lipids, chemistry of proteins, plasma proteins and immunoglobulin, enzymes, vitamins, chemistry of hemoglobin, chemistry of nucleic acids, biological oxidation, nutrients and their role in nutrition, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, protein metabolism, integration of metabolism and metabolism in starvation, water metabolism, mineral metabolism, hemoglobin metabolism, purine and pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism, replication, transcription and translation, regulation of gene expression and mutation, genetic engineering, mechanism of hormone action, acid-base balance, organ function tests, radioisotopes in medicine, free radicals and antioxidants, detoxification (metabolism of xenobiotics), cancer, environment and health, biomedical waste management, connective tissue, muscle, neurotransmitters and laboratory investigation techniques. This book is clear, concise, and comprehensive and in full color, exam oriented ideal textbook for medical, dental, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing and other health sciences students. Exam questions in the form of long answer questions (LAQs), short answer questions (SAQs), multiple choice questions (MCQs), and clinical case studies are also discussed in this book.Cell and Membrane Transport
