The fifth edition of the Textbook of Biochemistry incorporates significant revisions that emphasize the clinical orientation and integration aspects of the CBME syllabus. It thus includes a larger number of case studies throughout the text for providing students with early clinical exposure, as well as vertical and horizontal integration boxes that show the relationship between biochemistry and other medical subjects. The revisions also ensure that the CBME syllabus is complied with in all respects and the book continues to provide undergraduate medical students with an easy-to-understand overview of biochemistry concepts. The book will also be a valuable study resource for students of allied health fields and those preparing for competitive examinations. Special features of this edition: Content covers the CBME syllabus; Case-based learning, together with clinical pictures wherever relevant, interspersed throughout the text for providing students with early clinical exposure; Vertical and horizontal integration boxes containing short descriptions linking biochemistry with other medical disciplines and basic sciences; Clinical correlation boxes to help students visualise the applied aspects of biochemistry; Liberal use of illustrations and tabular layouts to help assimilation and recall of the inherently complex aspects of biochemistry; Section-wise summaries provided in chapters for better recapitulation ; Consistent emphasis on explanations of biochemical mechanisms and molecular dynamics of body functions and their correlation to clinical conditions ; Focus on biologic oxidation, various metabolisms, and ‘dynamics of the pathway’—a unique attempt at exploring metabolic pathways from different angles ; A wide selection of MCQs, useful for university examinations as well as competitive examinations such as PG NEET/NExT (MD/MS entrance), PLAB and USMLE ; Additional riddles and problems accessible through QR codes provided at the end of each chapter
