This book introduces some of the most widely used experimental procedures in biochemistry for students of MBBS and other allied sciences. In this new edition, all the chapters have been thoroughly revised to conform to the Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum.

Salient features

  • A wide range of qualitative analysis and quantitative estimations and measurements in biochemistry explained with emphasis on principles, procedures, observations and clinical interpretations
  • Theory of the underlying principles and procedures included so that students are able to appreciate the biochemical basis of the demonstrated experiments/techniques
  • Covers all the competencies prescribed in the CBME curriculum
  • Several new topics or expanded treatment of topics such as electrophoresis, chromatography, estimation of pH and preparation of buffers, biomedical waste management, isolation and quantification of DNA, and biochemical tests for common clinical conditions included in this edition
  • Features viva questions commonly encountered in practical examinations
  • Includes MCQs, problem-based exercises, questions relating to interpretation of laboratory data and case studies to aid students in their preparations for competitive examinations

Rafi MD, Dean and Medical Director of Surabhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Siddipet, obtained his MBBS degree from Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal, and MD from Gandhi Medical College, Hyderabad. He is well-known for his passion for maximising the learning experience for his students through innovative teaching methods. Dr Rafi has several research publications to his credit in journals of repute.
