This book provides a brief explanation of the key terms and concepts of Biochemistry. Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology and metabolism.
This book covers the diversity of biomolecules present in living organisms, their characterization techniques, clinical biochemistry and genetic information transfer process.
This Very Short Introduction discusses the key concepts of biochemistry, as well as the historical figures in the field and the molecules they studied, before considering the current science and innovations in the field, and the interaction between biochemistry, biotechnology, and synthetic biology.
Toxins are chemicals produced by living organisms that are poisonous to another organism. The chapters present the characteristics of toxins that can be harmful to tissues, organs or biological processes of living organisms, produced only by other living organisms. The authors of the prepared chapters also present the most popular toxins.
