The main aim of this work is to present the fundamental aspects of Biochemistry
so that a student can understand the mechanisms of life at the molecular level.
The book starts with an examination of the structure and principal properties of
amino-acids and proteins, followed by an introduction to the major principles of
enzymology and biochemical energetics. Keeping the student in mind, the author
goes on to present the chemical structure and biological activity for each
family of molecules simultaneously.
The study of the mechanics of regulation is the subject of the last chapter.This
is a basic work in its field which has been regularly
