Biochemistry, as the molecular language of life, provides the essential framework for understanding the structure, function, and regulation of biomolecules within the human body. The practical component of biochemistry is not merely a laboratory extension of theory; it is a discipline in itself— training the mind in observation, interpretation, and scientific reasoning.
This book is conceived with the aim of introducing students to the fundamental principles and applied aspects of biochemistry through a structured and clinically conscious practical manual.
The second edition of this book is based on competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum implemented by the National Medical Council (NMC) in the year 2024. It focuses on the development of all the latest and updated required competencies for a successful Indian medical graduate. Care has been taken to provide horizontal and vertical integrations to develop the conceptual, clinical, correlated, and applied knowledge.

The second edition of this book is based on competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum implemented by the National Medical Council (NMC) in the year 2024.
Emphasis has been laid on accuracy in technique, clarity in documentation, and logical interpretation of biochemical findings.
Each exercise is methodically organized to include objectives, principles, procedures, observations, inferences, relevant viva voce questions, MCQs, Structured Clinical Case Scenarios, Spotters, OSCE, and OSPE.
Early clinical exposure, integrated teaching— both horizontal and vertical, skill development, AETCOM and self-directed learning have been introduced in this book.
Highlights of this book are: skill-based competencies, clinical correlations of qualitative and quantitative experiments, group experiments and demonstrations, case histories, interpretations of laboratory results of all metabolisms, viva voce, integrated approach and early clinical exposure, and last but not the least clinical case spots.
