This text book is a clear, comprehensive, short textbook, explains the fundamental concepts of biochemistry. It emphasizes the clinical applications of biochemistry linking biochemical principles to disease processes, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. This book presents the subject in a simple and easily understandable language, written in a concise, flexible, interesting format. The book is well-illustrated using diagrams, flow charts, can significantly enhance understanding and make complex topics easier to grasp. It also includes the latest advancements in the field, including molecular biology and immunology.

The topics are explained, ranging from basics to a detailed knowledge in the area of biochemistry. To enable students to grasp the key points of chapters, a brief synopsis is given at the beginning of chapters. Long answer questions, short answer questions and multiple choice questions are given at the end of the chapters, making it easier for the students to prepare for examinations.

This book is immensely useful for all the students of biochemistry, and primarily intended to those who pursue their career in dental, nursing, allied health sciences, veterinary, agricultural and biological sciences and home sciences. It is brief, and serves as an introductory handbook for medical (MBBS) students.
