This pioneer edition of Essentials of Biochemistry (for Medical Students) has been presented in such a way that it should explain in a simple way about the theoretical aspects of biochemistry to medical students. The texts are explained with neat and lucid illustrations that will help the readers to understand easily the concepts. Shivananda Nayak B has more than 18 years of teaching experience in a Medical, Allied Health and Dental College. He served as Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal University, Manipal, Karnataka (India) for a period of 15 years. Presently, he is serving in the Department of Preclinical Sciences (Biochemistry unit), as a Faculty of Medical Sciences, The University of The West Indies, West Indies. He has published more than 40 articles in national and international scientific journals. He is a life member of Indian Association of Clinical Chemists (IACB), members of American Association for Clinical Chemists (AACC) and Association for South Asian Clinical Chemists. Recently, he has been awarded with the Fellowship from North American County Board (NACB), USA for his excellent service in the field of Clinical Chemistry. 1. Cell, 2. Bioenergetics, 3. Enzymes, 4.
