Biomolecules takes the highly complex and diverse subject of Biomolecules and simplifies it. Designed for both students to learn from and academics to refer to, this book has the capability of changing the way people look at biogenic substances. It is carefully structured into detailed chapters catering to each and every type of biomolecules ranging from amino acids and carbohydrates to porphyrins and alkaloids. Biomolecules has the potential to be a superlative primer in the field of biochemistry with its comprehensive take on a subject that holds immense importance to mankind. Written by one of the luminaries in the field of Chemistry - Emeritus Professor Ahluwalia, Manakin Press is pleased to present to you Biomolecules ȓ Chemistry of Living System. Biomolecules also known as Molecules of Life are naturally occurring biogenic substances that are essential for sustaining life processes. They are both produced and consumed by living organisms. Biomolecules constitute a number of organic and inorganic compounds. They are a major component of biological processes which is why understanding them is crucial. This book is the perfect primer for students of biochemistry and biology. Furthermore, it can be the ideal reference book for teachers of the same subjects. The book provides comprehensive information on a wide variety of biomolecules ranging from amino acids and carbohydrates to porphyrins and alkaloids. A one stop work with complete information about biogenic substances, Biomolecules: Chemistry of Living System is a must have for all pertinent college, university, departmental, public and personal libraries.
