PHARMACEUTICAL BIOCHEMISTRY

Pharmaceutical biochemistry is a much-awaited book in the field of Pharmacy. Targeted mainly to B. Pharmacy & Pharm-D students, this book will also be useful for medical, dental, nursing, and other paramedical students. The main objective of this book is to attract undergraduate pharmacy students and make them understand the basic biochemical process which can be applied in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology. Thus, the book is aimed to eliminate the inadequacy in teaching and learning Pharmaceutical Biochemistry by providing detailed information about the biomolecules and their metabolic process.Salient Features:
· As per the PCI revised syllabus the coverage is complete with the basics as well as 2nd semester B. Pharm and 1st-year Pharm-D portion.
· The content of this book is innovative and presented in 12 chapters with a simple and uniform pattern of explanation along with all biochemical reactions.
· To make the learning comfortable and magnetize attention we have used well-labeled diagrams, illustrations, flow charts, simplified and schematic represented biomolecule classification. We have also provided metabolic pathways in an easy-to-understand manner highlighted with chemical structure, type of reaction, energy, and inhibitors, and a detailed and simplified explanation of all biochemical reactions.
· Highlighted structural changes in each and every step of biochemical reaction and Metabolic pathway illustration without structure also included for easy revision.
· Easy remembrance of enzyme name from the reason behind the naming.
· Student-friendly schematic representation of principles for biochemical tests and flow chart representation of a procedure for biochemical tests.
