TEXT BOOK OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND CLINICAL PATHOLOGY  (English, Paperback, Smt. Sarita Solanki)

TEXTBOOK OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND CLINICAL PATHOLOGY Beginning with an introduction to the vast scope of biochemistry in pharmacy and the cellular biochemical organization, this textbook meticulously covers the fundamental building blocks of life: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and enzymes. Discover the structures of essential sugars, from monosaccharides like glucose to complex polysaccharides like starch. Delve into the multifaceted realm of proteins, understanding their structure, classifications, and the diseases arising from protein malnutrition. Unravel the mysteries of the genetic code with a detailed look at nucleic acids, from the foundational purine and pyrimidine bases to the iconic Watson and Crick model of DNA. Gain insights into the dynamic world of enzymes, their properties, and their immense therapeutic potential. Vitamins, those crucial micronutrients, are discussed in depth, from their sources and functions to the diseases that arise from their deficiency. The book also delves into the intricate pathways of metabolism, shedding light on the cycles that power life, from glycolysis to the TCA cycle, and the diseases that arise when these pathways are disrupted. Finally, embark on a journey into the pathology of blood and urine, understanding the significance of various cells and constituents in health and disease.
