Principles of Biochemistry and Biophysics by Dr. BS.Chauhan

Biochemistry is now considered to be one of the fundamental subjects for various bioscience courses. A number of Indian universities have begun to include it in their undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The subject of biochemistry works at molecular level and thus brings to light the hidden secrets of life. The rapid development and enormous expansion of every phase of biochemistry has not only markedly enriched our knowledge about the nature of life but has also made biochemistry the language of life.

Students face problems in conceptualizing the subject within a limited time. Most of the students need a book that is lucidly presented, orderly arranged and profusely illustrated. The present book has been written in simple language in such a way that a student with very little chemistry background can easily follow the various aspects of biochemistry presented in the book.

At the end of the book very useful appendices along with glossary of common terms used in biochemistry have been provided. Useful references are added at the end of each chapter in order to guide the reader to the classical and current literature. Student activity in the form of review problems has been provided with each chapter.
