Practical Manual on Plant Biochemistry

Biochemistry is one of the branches of chemistry which deals with chemical basis of life in plants and animals. The importance of biochemistry is immense and indispensable in our daily life activities. It is used in clinical diagnosis, manufacture of various biological products, treatment of diseases, nutrition, agriculture, etc. The study of biochemistry helps to understand the actual chemical concepts of biology which includes the functioning of various physiological processes in humans as well as plants by the use of bio-molecules. Mere theoretical knowledge is not sufficient unless and until a student has a strong hold on the practical aspects of a particular subject. Keeping in view the immense importance of Biochemistry practical work, this manual has been designed to perfectly acknowledge the U.G and P.G students of Academic and Agricultural Universities with the principles, requirements and the procedures of all the practicals related to preparation of solutions, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, enzymes, lipids and buffer solutions as per the prescribed course contents.
