The field of biochemistry encompasses a large and diverse field of
inquiry. It interfaces both chemistry and biology, as well as psychology, physics,
mathematics, astronomy, bioinformatics, and of course, medicine. Yet,
it's a stand-alone discipline. The contents of these lectures include : What is
Biochemistry?, Themes Throughout the Course, Molecular Components of Life,
Thermodynamics Review, Water, Proteins, Enzymes, Nucleic Acids, Lipids and
Membranes, Carbohydrates, Vitamins and Coenzymes II and Metabolism.

Biochemistry,
as the name implies, is the chemistry of living organisms. It has its origin in
chemistry and biology. It tries to explain life processes at molecular level.
The topics covered in this notes are : Introduction, History of Biochemistry,
Plant Cell and organelles, Proteins, Enzymes, Fatty acids, Isomerism, Nucleic
acids, Lipids, etc.

This note explains the following topics: Structure and
organelles of plant cell and their role, Biomolecules, Carbohydrates,
Nucleotides and Nucleic acid, Amino acids, peptides and protein, Plant proteins
and their quality, Lipids, Fatty acids, Biochemical energetics.
The purpose of this book is to
introduce a variety of methods and tools to isolate and identify unknown
bacteria through biochemical and molecular differences, based on characteristic
gene sequences.
This book provides important aspects of sustainable degradation of
lignocellulosic biomass which has a pivotal role for the economic production of
several value-added products and biofuels with safe environment. Different
pretreatment techniques and enzymatic hydrolysis process along with the
characterization of cell wall components have been discussed broadly.

The course note provides students with a
research-inspired laboratory experience that introduces standard biochemical
techniques in the context of investigating a current and exciting research
topic, acquired resistance to the cancer drug Gleevec. Techniques include
protein expression, purification, and gel analysis, PCR, site-directed
mutagenesis, kinase activity assays, and protein structure viewing.
