ZOOLOGY
Biological Chemistry

Knowledge of biochemistry is necessary to understand the various physiological processes that occur in a living organism. Without any background, knowledge of biochemistry subject biology cannot be learned properly. In most Indian Universities biochemistry is adopted as an independent course.
Biochemistry is a very vast subject that cannot be covered in a small book of this type. The book is written primarily to serve as a text for an introductory course for Zoology students at the graduate level. The book is written with limited objectives of familiarizing the biology students with the chemistry of biological molecules. The stress is on the implications of chemical structure and properties on biological activities. With limitations of the book in mind, the first chapter is devoted to giving an overall view of biochemistry.
