This book pools together the knowledge and
experience of those engaged in teaching and research
in the field of biochemistry and disciplines of medical
sciences. Now substantially revised and updated,
it provides a comprehensive coverage of biochemistry
in the overall context of body function (and
dysfunction).
Arranged in 17 sections, it begins appropriately with
a section on Chemical Architecture of the Living
Systems and then goes on to consider a diversity of
fields with membranes and receptors, endorphins and
encephalins and prostaglandins at one end of the
spectrum to such topics as biochemistry of common
intestinal parasities, protein-calorie malnutrition and
principles of chemotherapy at the other end.
The book is intended to be a basic text for the
medical student not only during preclinical years
when the subject is taught, but also during para and
clinical years. Being a handbook of basic information,
it will also be useful to students of human biology
and biochemistry.
