The knowledge of biological chemistry is now an integral part of life sciences courses in many universities and institution enzymes, hormones as well as the thermodynamics aspects behind life sciences and bioenergetics and metabolism of biomolecules.
Biochemistry: Fundamentals and Bioenergetics presents information about the basic and applied aspects of the chemistry of living organisms. It discusses a wide range of topics related to the fundamental and applied aspects of chemistry behind life sciences. The textbook covers the scope and importance of biochemistry, the latest physical techniques to determine bio molecular structure, detailed classification, structure and function of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, vitamins, enzymes and hormones.
It also deals with photosynthesis and respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, DNA replication, transcription and translation, recombinant DNA technology. The salient features of this book are logical approach with several examples, comprehensive and micro level presentation of the subject matter.
Key Features
- logical approach to biochemistry with several examples
- 10 organized chapters on biochemistry fundamentals and metabolism
- focus on biomolecules and biochemical processes
- references for further reading
About the Editor:
Prof. Hardeo Singh Yadav , Obtained his Master’ and Doctorate degrees from DDU Gorakhpur University,Gorakhpur,Uttar Pradesh, India. In his carrier span of 33 years of teaching and research at the Department of Chemistry, NERIST, including DDU Gorakhpur University (1998-2000), Prof. Yadav has been involved in teaching vide range of chemistry courses with active research in the area of synthesis and characterization of novel macrocyclic ligands and to study their coordination behavior towards oxocations such as UO2(VI), VO(IV), ZrO(IV) and MoO2(VI). He collaborated with Prof. C. David Garner, Department of Chemistry, University of Manchester,UK to work on Amavadin Chemistry and its Molybdenum Analogues under the award of Nehru Centenary British Fellowship-1992. Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi awarded exchange programme with foreign academies i.e., Polish Academy of Science , Poland and Hungarian Academy of Science, Hungary for collaborative research with senior Professors namely Prof. JulitaEilmes of Jagillonin University, Cracow and Prof. JacekMlochowski, Wrocklaw University, Wrocklaw, Poland and Prof. ImreTothand Prof. JooFerenc, University of Debrecen, Hungary. During these colorations, outstanding research outcome in the area of green Chemistry synthesis was achieved using Selenium Catalysts, which has been further collaborated and extended using Peroxidase Enzymes from plant resources particularly green vegetables and fruits at the department of Chemistry, NERIST, Nirjuli, Arunachal Pradesh. Wide range of Organic transformations have been achieved and published using Peroxidase and Catalase enzymes.
Prof. Yadav has successfully completed several research projects where several research students have completed research and recently good research outcome has been reported in International Journals.In addition, he is working presently as Director, North Eastern Regional Institute of Science & Technology, which is Deemed to be University u/s 3 of the UGC act 1956 under Ministry of Education, Govt. of India. Out of sincere efforts made by Prof. Yadav in teaching learning process, the academic growth of the Institute, NERIST, has evolved to a level to create manpower starting from supervisory level to engineer/scientist and specialized experts in the areas of Science and Technology and Management contributing rapid development to the North East Region in particular and country as a whole to achieve the mission of AtmaNirbhar Bharat.
Dr. Meera Yadav completed her Master’s and Ph.D in Chemistry from DDU Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. She was awarded CSIR-SRF (2000-2003), twice as DST-Woman scientist A (2005-2008) & (2013-2016) and UGC- Dr. D. S Kothari Postdoctoral Fellow (2009-2012) at Department of Chemistry, Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur. Her research area includes, purification, characterization and applications of Metalloenzymes- Lignin peroxidase, Mn-peroxidase, Laccase and Chloroperoxidase, isolation of fungal strains producing ligninolytic enzymes, their structural-functional studies using X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic and fast reaction kinetic techniques. Use of enzymes in synthetic inorganic and organic chemistry. She has served two years as guest lecturer in Madan Mohan Malviya Technical University (MMMTU), Gorakhpur. Currently she is working as an Assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry, North Eastern Regional Institute of Science and Technology (NERIST), Nirjuli, Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, India. She has attended and participated in more than 30 national and international seminars and conferences. She has guided one Ph.D and five students are being involved in various research activities in her laboratory. Eight students have submitted their M.Sc dissertation under her guidance till now. She has published 30 research papers in reputed national and international peer reviewed journals, 2 books, 5 chapters in reputed standard books. She has also reviewed many research papers. She is life member of American Chemical Society, Indian Council of Chemists and Indian Society of Chemists and Biologists.
