Authored by Rodrigo Valenzuela Baez, this book gives a general
view of contemporary research related to lipid metabolism. All international
authors' contributions are collected to discuss the latest findings and trends
in lipid biology. The text discusses various topics concerning the metabolic
pathways, regulatory mechanisms, and implications of lipid biology for health
and disease. Opening new avenues of research as well as encouraging new ways of
understanding lipid function and metabolism, it is indeed a treasure trove for
the researcher and student seeking to pursue in-depth knowledge of lipid
biochemistry.
This
educational note from Annamalai University deals with the basic concepts in
biochemistry: carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, nucleic acids, lipoproteins,
and lipid metabolism. It stresses biological properties of proteins, metabolic
pathways by fats and proteins, and functions of enzymes. The material structured
in understanding biomolecules will explain the significant principles of
biochemistry and how the principles are applicable in biological systems. This
book resource is apt for the beginner biochemistry student; it is simply so
solid and foundational that once grasped, the concepts can take students further
in the field.
This PDF by K.K. Wagh Agricultural College, Nashik, has
focused the most critical topics in biochemistry related to the structure and
function of organelles in a plant cell, biomolecules, carbohydrates, nucleic
acids, and lipids. It includes discussion topics like proteins, amino acids, and
biochemical energetics related to the functions of living organisms. Developing
the molecular constituents considered significant for life, these notes have
been prepared as a basic text that will help increase the understanding of
biochemical processes together with their applications in agriculture and
biological sciences.
Deeply based on Western Oregon University, this online resource
explains foundational concepts of biochemistry such as protein structure, DNA,
RNA, and the human genome in depth. The paper goes on to elucidate enzyme
principles and catalytic mechanisms and regulatory aspects of proteins. The text
then discusses DNA replication, transcription, RNA processing, and mechanisms of
DNA repair and transcriptional control. In this chapter, the reader will achieve
a broad overview which, for students, will empower them with a good basis of
biochemical principles that underpin life at the molecular level; it forms a
very important background study for students pursuing biochemistry and related
disciplines.
