Experimental Manual in Medical Biochemistry

Experimental Manual in Medical Biochemistry is an excellent textbook for undergraduate medical students who want to learn modern biochemical laboratory methodologies and techniques. It presents basic biochemistry methods in a shortened form, which are designed for use in a biochemistry and molecular biology laboratory. The manual's objective is for students to learn how to perform experiments successfully and independently, interpret data, and write scientific laboratory reports. The first edition of the manual offers incorporation of some clinical laboratory test kits, which is beneficial for those learning biochemistry as a part of medical science. It covers all the important and commonly used techniques of contemporary biochemistry. This book consists of seven chapters, discussing spectroscopy, electrophoresis, chromatography, enzyme analysis, protein isolation and purification, and identification of nucleic acids, making it exhaustive on various topics.The manual contains 17 experiments performed many times in their laboratory, ensuring reliability. It uses simple language and provides step-by-step instruction for each experiment. The manual includes both theoretical and practical knowledge; this enables readers to understand the underlying concepts and to perform experiments successfully.I recommend this book to undergraduate medical students, graduate students, and teaching staff who need a reliable reference book for learning and teaching biochemical techniques.
