Description of Practical Biochemistry
Nearly two decades of teaching experience have driven me to write this book. I realized that if an illustrated book is available, students will be able to recollect the experiments done earlier, to face the different types of questions during practical examinations. Hence all the items in this book are illustrated.
The contents of this book are structured in a practical examination-oriented manner. The major sections are qualitative experiments, quantitative experiments, charts, spotters and objective structured practical examination questions. All the tests are provided with diagrams and interpretations. This will help the students to understand each concept thoroughly and enable them to use it as an instant doubt clearing book. I hope it will be very useful for day-to-day studies and exam preparations.
Details of reagent preparations given along with the respective chapters are useful for the staff involved in the laboratory preparation of practical sessions. This part will also help to improve the level of understanding of students about the reagents they are using for various experiments in the laboratory.
Questions provided with the chapters are useful for having better clarity and grasp of the topic. Moreover, it will definitely boost the confidence of students to face the examination. Chapters on charts and spotting and OSPE questions are useful for the self-training of such types of evaluation methods. I warmly welcome the views of those using the book and I shall be grateful to the readers for bringing to my notice of mistakes for corrections, in future editions of the book.
