Description
IP Innovative Publication Pvt Ltd A Theoretical Book on Biochemistry by Mr Nitin Rajan Ms Vridhi Kulshrestha Mr Shubhankit Soni Mr Shubham Kanaujiya
Biochemistry is a fundamental subject for students pursuing a Diploma in Pharmacy as per the regulations of the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). Understanding the principles of biochemistry is essential for students to comprehend the molecular mechanisms involved in drug action, metabolism, and toxicity. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the entire syllabus of biochemistry for students pursuing a Diploma in Pharmacy as per PCI regulations.Chapter-wise CoverageThe book covers all the essential topics included in the syllabus of biochemistry for the Diploma in Pharmacy as per PCI. The chapters are arranged in a logical sequence, starting with an introduction to the fundamental principles of biochemistry, including the structure and function of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. The subsequent chapters delve into the biochemical pathways involved in energy metabolism, with a detailed discussion on glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.The book also covers the principles of enzymology, including enzyme kinetics, regulation, and inhibition. The chapter on bioenergetics provides a detailed discussion on the principles of thermodynamics and how they relate to biological systems. The book also includes a comprehensive discussion on the principles of molecular genetics, including DNA replication, transcription, and translation.In addition, the book covers the principles of pharmacology, including drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and drug interactions. The chapter on clinical biochemistry provides a comprehensive discussion on the role of biochemistry in disease diagnosis, including the diagnosis of diabetes, liver diseases, and cardiovascular diseases.ConclusionThis book is designed to be an indispensable resource for students pursuing a Diploma in Pharmacy as per PCI regulations. It provides a comprehensive overview of the entire syllabus of biochemistry, including essential topics such as the structure and function of biomolecules, energy metabolism, enzymology, molecular genetics, pharmacology, and clinical biochemistry. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, with numerous illustrations and examples to aid student comprehension. It is hoped that this book will serve as an essential reference for students pursuing a Diploma in Pharmacy and will help them to develop a deep understanding of the principles of biochemistry.
