Introduction

Practical Biochemistry provides both foundational knowledge and advanced insights into biochemistry, including the basic compounds, and laboratory methods. The book is designed for students and academic professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding of the practical aspects of the subject.

The book is systematically divided into five sections, each dedicated to a specific category of macromolecules and related biochemical techniques: 1) Carbohydrates, 2) Proteins, 3) Nucleic acids, 4) Lipids, 5) Supplementary Techniques and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Each chapter within these sections is structured to provide a thorough understanding of the aim, principles, procedures, and practical applications of biochemical techniques.
