A career biography of one of the most brilliant Indian scientists of this century, often called "the father of molecular biophysics in India." Most of his scientific contributions were made against great odds, at a time when scientific research and creativity had a low priority in India. Includes bandw photos.

Collagen is a fascinating protein not only because of its ubiquitous occurrence in multicellular animals, but also because of its unique chemi cal structure. As the predominant constituent in bone, cartilage, skin, tendon, and tooth, it is not surprising that collagen is of interest to anatomists, biochemists, biomedical engineers, cell biologists, dermatolo gists, dental surgeons, leather chemists, orthopedic surgeons, physiologists, physicians, zoologists, and a host of others. This book was planned to provide an up-to-date comprehensive survey of all aspects of biochemistry of collagen. The recent discovery of genetically distinct collagens with tissue specificity has opened a new era in ...
Using the cosmos as a backdrop, Rodney Cotterill delivers a fascinating journey of Nature's materials, from the atom to the living organism. This is a beautifully illustrated, expanded account of the highly praised Cambridge Guide to the Material World. The author seamlessly blends the physics, chemistry and biology of Nature, portraying matter with all its elegance and flaws. Although the book is divided into material types, the author connects concepts and pinpoints commonalities between the inorganic and organic domains. It challenges the reader to question our structured view of the world and whether this limits our scientific endeavour, aptly demonstrated by the new chapter devoted exclusively to the mind. Through the breadth of topics and engaging prose, this book will act as a superb introduction to material science for students and those intrigued by the material world we live in.
Complex organic molecules are the building blocks of all known forms of life. These construct living creatures and are essential for their development and upkeep. Biomolecules are a specific kind of molecule. Biomolecules may be broken down into many categories, including carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes, hormones, and so on. Metabolism is the rate at which a living organism's cells undergo chemical reactions in order to produce energy for essential processes and new organic material. The unique ability of living things to take in and utilise energy from their environment to power processes like motion, development, and reproduction sets them apart from inanimate matte...
Come for a journey into the life of some of the most influential and pioneering scientist from India in the last century that have left lasting legacy in the progress of science, and the nation.
The book embodies 22 chapters covering various important disciplines of biotechnology, such as cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics, biophysical methods, genomics and proteomics, metagenomics, enzyme technology, immune-technology, transgenic plants and animals, industrial microbiology and environmental biotechnology. The book is illustrative. It is written in a simple language
This textbook, Essentials of Biochemistry is aimed at chemistry and biochemistry undergraduate students and first year biochemistry graduate students. It incorporates the lectures of the authors given to students with a strong chemistry background. An emphasis is placed on metabolism and reaction mechanisms and how they are studied. As the title of the book implies, the text lays the basis for an understanding of the fundamentals of biochemistry.
This Book Tells You About The Origin Of Science In India,Its Phenomenal Growth Over The Years And ThePersons Who Contributed To It.
Life as we know it would not exist if proteins did not fold into functional three-dimensional structures, where α-helices, loops, and β-sheets act together to form active sites that drive a myriad of biochemical reactions in the cell. The failure of this process is linked to the pathology of various diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s, genetic conditions (like cystic fibrosis), and cancer. It is no wonder that close to $2 billion in worldwide research funding has been devoted over the last five years (2019–2025) to helping scientists understand the molecular details of protein folding, how it can fail in ways that promote disease in humans, and clinical paths...
