The science of biochemistry is expanding at a very fast speed. However, the students of Dental, Nursing and Pharmacy do not need what is presented in voluminous books; therefore, the need of a book which can provide them what is required the most. Though the main framework of 2nd edition has been retained, extensive revision of certain portions has been made in this 3rd edition. New chapters like Recombinant DNA Technology and Biochemistry of AIDS have been added. Topics like Protein Synthesis have been rewritten keeping in view the recent advances. Points to Remember page and MCQs at the end of each chapter have been retained to help the readers/students for last minute revision of the subject and to recapitulate the main points. No doubt Dr MN Chatterjea's Textbook of Medical Biochemistry gives whatever the students require but the students find it quite bulky and a lot of information does not pertain to their particular discipline. The students of Dental, Nursing and Pharmacy will find the present book by the same author as handy with lucid and easily comprehensible language. Dr (Brig) MN Chatterjea, Is a renowned author. His Textbook of Medical Biochemistry is very popular all over the world. It is considered the most standard textbook on the subject. It is hoped that the students will find this book equally good and concise. 1. Chemistry of Carbohydrates 2. Chemistry of Lipids 3. Chemistry of Proteins and Amino Acids4.
