Protocols in Biochemistry and Clinical Biochemistry

By Shweta Pandey, Shyamal K Goswami, Buddhi Prakash Jain

Protocols in Biochemistry and Clinical Biochemistry, second edition, offers clear, applied instruction in fundamental biochemistry methods and protocols, from buffer preparation to nucleic acid purification, protein, lipid, carbohydrate, and enzyme testing, and clinical testing of vitamins, glucose, and cholesterol levels, among other diagnostics. Each protocol is illustrated with step-by-step instructions, labeled diagrams, and color images, as well as a thorough overview of materials and equipment, precursor techniques, safety considerations and standards, analysis and statistics, alternative methods, and troubleshooting, all to support a range of study types and clinical diagnostics.

This fully revised edition has been expanded and enriched to feature 100 protocols, as well as chapter key term definitions and worked examples. All-new protocols added to this edition include identification of lipids by TLC, lipid per oxidation measurement by thiobarbituric acid assays, determination of serum amylase, catalase activity assay, superoxide dismutase assay, qualitative analysis of plant secondary metabolites, qualitative analysis of photochemicals, quantitative estimation of secondary metabolites, estimation of chlorophyll contents, and starch determination, among others. Each protocol is written to help researchers and clinicians easily reproduce lab methods and ensure accurate test results.
