Description: Mind Maps in Biochemistry presents a series of concept and knowledge maps about biochemical compounds, systems and techniques. The book illustrates the relationships between commonly used terms in the subject to convey the meaning of ideas and concepts that facilitate a basic understanding about the subject for readers. Chapters of the book cover both basic topics (lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleotides, enzymes, metabolic pathways, nutrition and physiology) as well as applied topics (clinical diagnosis, diseases, genetic engineering and molecular biology).

Description: A further examination of how molecules function in cellular processes. Vitamins and minerals are critical for human health, and yet few people know why they are so important for our bodies. Hormones control everything from sugar metabolism (diabetes), to sexual maturation (estrogen and testosterone), to bone density and growth (BMPs), but how these key chemicals control cells is often misunderstood. This guide will explain these topics in molecular detail for everyone interested in nutrition, molecular biology, medicine, and health.

Description: The present book'Laboratory Manual of Biochemistry: Methods and Techniques'is the outcome of 17 years of teaching and research experience of the authors. Biochemistry is a comparatively recent branch but the utility and variability of research work and the dazzling pace of its development has positioned this discipline in the forefront of scientific hierarchy. As Biochemistry works at a molecular level (i.e. finer than that accessed by the ultra-modern optical or phase-contrast microscopes) it embraces other disciplines also. Biochemistry has thus strengthened the integrated approach concept and solving biological riddles. Biochemical Techniques are used in all branches of biological sciences and biotechnology. Biochemical experiments are conducted in the laboratory as practical as well as for persuing research. A researcher has to refer to many journals and books before he/she could get to the working protocol for his/her experiment. This book attempts to give often-used methods in a single volume.
