Fundamentals of BiochemistryIn this latest Seventh Edition , five New Chapters (No. 28, 29, 33, 36 and 37) have been added to enhance the scope and utility of the book: three chapters pertain to Bioenergetics and Metabolism (Biosynthesis of Nucleotides, Degradation of Nucleotides, Mineral Metabolism) and two to Nutrition Biochemistry (Principles of Nutrition, Elements of Nutrition). In fact, all the previously-existing 35 chapters have been thoroughly revised, enlarged and updated in the light of recent advancements and the ongoing researches being conducted the world over. |
