Essential Biochemistry Victor Perry

The scientific study of chemical processes in living organisms such as plants, animals and microorganisms is known as biochemistry. It is divided into physical biochemistry, molecular genetics, metabolism, clinical chemistry and protein science. This field focuses on the mechanism of biological molecules and how it gives rise to various processes which occurs within living cells. This extensive field studies tissues, organism structure and function, and organs. It also focuses on proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates as they provide cell structure. The concepts and methods of this field are applied in medicine, agriculture, nutrition, and biotechnology. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core aspects of biochemistry. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, this book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
