The study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level is known as biochemistry. Around the turn of the 20th century, scientists joined chemistry, physiology, and biology to study the chemistry of living systems, and it became a distinct field of study.

This book is well suited for students of B.Sc. (Biotechnology) third semester NEP batch. It will also be useful reference when preparing for various competitive exams like JNU, CSIR NET etc. This book can also be referred by students who deal with biomolecules and various analytical methods.
The end result is a book that tackles the course’s and its materials’ fundamental organisational reality and the scope of the topical covering. In response to the market’s demand for a textbook with a breadth that is manageable for instructors and students alike, we give a detailed discussion of biomolecules and their synthetic core ideas while simplifying some chapters.
Unit 1 contains an expanded section on the carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and their classification along with their synthesis approaches. Unit 2 contains detailed classification of lipids and enzymes along with their structure and activity. Unit 3 contains detailed study of different types of vitamins and their source availability. This unit also deals with hormones and brief structure of purines and pyrimidines. Unit 4 contains bioanalytical tools like chromatography, electrophoresis and spectroscopy. This unit describes the principle and construction of these tools along with applications.
