Biomolecules also known as Molecules of Life are naturally occurring biogenic substances that are essential for sustaining life processes. They are both produced and consumed by living organisms. Biomolecules constitute a number of organic and inorganic compounds. They are a major component of biological processes which is why understanding them is crucial. This book is the perfect primer for students of biochemistry and biology. Furthermore, it can be the ideal reference book for teachers of the same subjects. The book provides comprehensive information on a wide variety of biomolecules ranging from amino acids and carbohydrates to porphyrins and alkaloids. A one stop work with complete information about biogenic substances, Biomolecules: Chemistry of Living System is a must have for all pertinent college, university, departmental, public and personal libraries.
