The book offers a comprehensive and cohrent account of entire fields of biochemistry comprising basic biochemistry, techniques in biochemistry, enzymology, intermediately metabolism, plant biochemistry, biochemistry of food grains, fruits and vegetables, inorganic nitrogen metabolism, biomembranes, molecular biology, biochemistry of biotic and abiotic stresses, immunochemistry, research methodology and biotechnology. The book is written in question answer form providing a ready materials for all inquisitive minds to prepare for any traditional or internal grading system examination, competitions, interviews, viva-voce indisciplines of biochemistry, and allied subjects. The answers are self explanatory. Fill in the blank and multiple choice questions embodied in the book will enable the readers to revise their knowledge quickly vis-a-vis indicate an understanding of the subject in depth. The glossary of biochemical terms and other pertinent information appended at the end is of added advantage to the candidates appearing in different competitive examinations and update their knowledge. The book will be useful for professional as well as to biologists.
