Laboratory Handbook on Biochemistry English 2010

This systematically designed laboratory handbook elucidates a number of techniques which help the students carry out various experiments in the field of biochemistry. The experimental protocols described in the handbook have been standardized and performed in the authors' own laboratory. This handbook is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of life sciences (biochemistry, microbiology, biotechnology, plant biotechno-logy, animal biotechnology, etc.) and engineering (biotechnology, biomedical, etc.) for their laboratory courses. Researchers have to refer to many journals and books to find the right procedure for their experiments. This handbook is an attempt to provide students with the often used methods in a handy format, including explanations of principles, procedures and interpretations of results of the experiments. Key Features : Includes more than 40 laboratory experiments. Provides general procedures of the experiments in an easy-to-understand tabulated format before explaining them. Presents as an added feature the physiological importance of bio-components like amino acids, uric acid, carbohydrates, proteins, etc. in human body. Gives useful information about preparation of laboratory reagents in separate appendices.
