The eighth edition of Textbook of Medical Biochemistry provides a concise, comprehensive overview of biochemistry, with a clinical approach to understand disease processes. Beginning with an introduction to cell biology, the book continues with an analysis of biomolecule chemistry, molecular biology and metabolism, as well as chapters on diet and nutrition, biochemistry of cancer and AIDS, and environmental biochemistry. Each chapter includes numerous images, multiple choice and essay-style questions, as well as highlighted text to help students remember the key points.

- Extensively revised and updated all chapters, in line with recommendations of CBME and subject requirement. - Important points have been threaded throughout the text in yellow boxes, reemphasizing the core concepts. - Selected advanced learning concepts are highlighted in blue boxes or enclosed in numbered boxes for postgraduate students and inquisitive undergraduates. - Nearly all figures have been modified or redrawn to make reading soothing for better retention. - Inclusion of new questions at the end of book for self-assessment of the topics studied. - Clinical cases along with case discussions - important pillar of the CBME are presented for problem-based learning and knowledge.

The third edition of the book is thoroughly updated and presented in a new two-colour format. The book presents a detailed and authoritative exposition of the basic principles and applications of biochemistry. It focuses primarily on clarity of the fundamental concepts and explains them according to the need of undergraduate medical students. The organization of content in this book is such that it provides the reader with a logical sequence of events that aids learning. - More emphasis in this edition is to systemize presentation and make reading soothing and pleasurable by deleting redundant details, adding new text and figures, improvement of earlier figures, supplementing text with easy to comprehend flowcharts, without changing basic framework of the book. - Each chapter ends with clinical cases and the related questions, which evokes yet another method of active learning rather than didactic methods of imparting knowledge. - Key points have been highlighted and boxed at the end of each topic for quick revision of the core concepts. - This book comes with a free companion website which contains self-assessment exercises, detailed case discussions related to the clinical cases given inside the book, glossary and various other features for enhanced learning.
