Biochemistry plays an important role in understanding any form of organic species, and insects are no exception. It uses the methods and concepts of organic and physical chemistry to investigate living matter systems. Biochemists study both the structure and properties of all the constituents of living matter (such as fats, proteins, enzymes, hormones, vitamins, DNA, cells, membranes and organs) together with the complex relations and pathways of metabolism. This book, one in the series on the world of insects, brings within its purview the role of biochemistry in comprehending insects. It takes into account the basic principles and concepts of insect biochemistry, bringing under cover the latest research into the field, as well as contemporary trends in both discovery and biotechnology. Analysing the subject through critical perspectives too the book makes efforts to acquaint the readers with insect biochemistry in a well-versed manner.
