7Preface
This second edition of Essentials of Biochemistry is a clear, concise, comprehensive and in full color, exam oriented ideal textbook for medical, dental, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing and other health sciences students. This book is revised and updated keeping in view all categories of students and it addresses their needs in a simple manner. Essentials of Biochemistry has been streamlined to focus on only the most essential biochemical concepts and avoids details not required by undergraduate students. Additional information has been given in the form of diagrams, tables, and flowcharts to understand the topics and its proper perspective.
The text has been so presented that the students would find it easy to attempt any question in the form of objective type or essay type after going through the text. To facilitate the student learning, I have added new features:
After reading this book, reader suggestion and healthy criticism will be of great help in the future improvement of the book. I would like you to send me your feedback at pankajanaik@hotmail.com/pankajanaik@gmail.com
