Biochemistry

Biochemistry
This title offers an Integration of Medical and pure sciences, and is comprehensively written, revised and updated to meet the curriculum requirements of Medical, Pharmacy, Dental, Veterinary, Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Agricultural Sciences, Life Sciences, and others studying Biochemistry as one of the subjects.
About the Author
Dr. U. Satyanarayana, Ph.D., posseses over 30 years (20 years as Professor) of experience in Teaching the subject of Biochemistry to Medical, Dental, and Science students. He has authored three other popular books-Biotechnology, Essentials of Biochemistry, Biochemistry Review, and Biotechnology, besides publishing about 50 Research papers in national and international journals. A Gold medalist of Nagpur University and a recipient of the Dr. Krishnaswamy Best Teacher Award (of Siddhartha Medical College), Dr. Satyanarayana has been honoured twice (Hong Kong 1989, Japan 1991) with the Regional Service Award by the Asian-Pacific Congress of Clinical Biochemistry. He is a Fellow of both the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry, USA, and the Institution of Chemists, India. Besides, he is also Advisor, Research Board, American Biographical Institute, USA, and the instituation of chemists, india. Dr. Satyanarayana is also a member of the Research Board of Advisors for the American Biographical Institute, and has been honoured as an Outstanding Scientist Worldwide-2007, by the International Biographical centre, England.
Dr. U. Chakrapani, M.B.B.S., M.S., the first Student to Learn Biochemistry from the Original • manuscript of this book, significantly contributed at every Stage of its preparation with Creative ideas and constant feedback. Now, after obtaining his post-graduate degree in Medical Faculty, he is a full-fledged co-author of the third Edition of this book. Dr. Chakrapani is largely responsible for the comprehensive coverage of the clinical and Biomedical aspects related to human biochemistry in Health and disease.
