Description

Zubay’s Principles of Biochemistry By Harish Chandra, Hem Chandra Pant

About the Book : A thorough explanation of the fundamentals of biochemistry can be found in the Principle of Biochemistry. Numerous subjects are covered in this book, such as protein metabolism, genetic engineering, carbohydrates, enzymes, amino acids, nucleic acids, and protein shapes and functions. Important biochemistry concepts are also explained, along with how biochemical principles are used in the practice of healing and easing human suffering. This book, which is divided into thirty chapters, starts with an introduction to biochemistry. The strengths of a few weak acids and bases are then covered in this chapter, along with an explanation of how acids and bases interact when an acid transfers a proton to a base. The usefulness of enzymes is discussed in other chapters and is illustrated by contrasting spontaneous chemical reactions with those that are catalyzed by enzymes. Lipid function and structure are also covered in this book. The last chapter discusses the significance of gene cloning and its uses in Microbial Genetics, a basic biological study that involves creating DNA fragments that carry particular genes. A great resource for students and biochemists alike is this book.
