Dr Manendra Kumar Advanced Biochemistry And Biotechnology

Annotation

At its most basic, biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes occurring in living matter. However, this simple definition encompasses an incredibly diverse field of research that touches nearly all aspects of our lives. One of the most pressing issues in our society, environmental degradation, is being addressed by biochemists. The wide concept of biotech or biotechnology encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of plants, and improvements to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization. Modern usage also includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies. It would be difficult to overstate the importance of the role biochemistry and biotechnology play in all our lives. Advances in biochemistry and biotechnology directly influence our health, environment and economy. The fields are constantly changing with new discoveries being made all the time. This valuable book is an important resource guide for all those concerned with biochemical and biotechnology fields.
